How likely is it that I could re-enlist to go from a cadre job at Fort Benning to another unit as a career counselor?

As a junior and NCO it’s very possible, though there will need to be a valid line number for your rank and MOS at the gaining unit.
And not visible to you, but Branch will need to look at critical shortages across the entire force and decide if moving you to another post that has zero of your rank an MOS to fill at least 1 of 5 authorized spots at a new duty station is better than leaving you at Benning to to fill the 5th of 5 authorized spots. EDIT: A: voice to txt typos corrected, B: numbers are just for example use. The point is, just because there is an a open spot for your rank and MOS on Benning does not mean its the highest priority fill.
There could be a BDE deploying that has NO career counselor and that is a critical fill position so off you go...

Is there a Cav unit there? I was only aware of the 1/28 Infantry unit, unless you're referring to some type of Cav training unit.
But, very possible as long as there is a slot available and you're not asking to go from TDA to TDA assignment.

CW3 (Join to see) but isn't that all schools? I meant is there any Cav MTOE units. I ask because he can reenlist to go to an MTOE unit, but TDA to TDA is prohibited.

SFC (Join to see) I left Benning in 2013, but it was all TDA after 3rd Brigade was nixed. 1st SFAB is there, but I’m not sure there breakdown for Career Councilors are.

CW3 (Join to see) I just learned a few months ago that they have 1-28 which is an MTOE unit that's what's left over of 3ID. But that's about it for the conventional stuff.
