This will be my first deployment and from what I've heard there aren't alot of artillery missions anymore. So what should I expect out of this deployment? What roles does artillery men typically play in deployments if they aren't doing artillery missions?

I am an arty guy too. Or I was. We would do a lot of convoy ops, provisional infantry, security and in 2005 we split the battery and had 2 small fobs we ran.
I forgot to mention heavy weapons support.

Just got back from a deployment. I’m a 13m myself. Our battalion shot 1500 rounds. The himars are becoming something the army uses more and more.

You will be bored out of your mind, but not to worry your Unit will most likely be in Red Cycle, that is gate guard, motor pool maintenance, ammo guard or what ever else your unit can dream of. It is a good time to go to school because when your down range the books are free and their is no reason why you can't come back with a degree in Associate of Arts. Don't pass up the opportunities.
