Not necessarily, getting PCS orders just means that a slot opened up in some command and they need a body to fill it.
Now could you be deploying soon, it's a possibility. But deployments are done on rotations, so if you are eager to deploy, you need to see where your unit is on the rotation block. Lastly, even if you are being sent to a deploying unit, that doesn't mean you are automatically going. They could already have their bodies stabilized so you might get left behind with the other home guard to clean and do general upkeep until the unit returns.

3/10 MTN, formerly 4/10, is the 10th Mountain Division's IBCT located here at Fort Polk. Best advise is to contact your sponsor and get as much advice as possible. Regardless what you here about Polk, it is a great assignment (as I am here for my third tour).

Being you are going to Fort Polk (I feel for you on that), I would guess it means you will be in your unit just in time for the summer rotation schedule for the fun old box.

Very likely. I came to Fort Polk in the end of May 2015 and was in Afghanistan by Sep.
And the BDE's next "vacation" to the middle east is coming in about 5 months.
