How should I go about finding an AD unit or Reserve unit deploying?

I am in the Army Reserves and looking to attach to a Deployment after July 2019. I have been continuously looking in Tour of Duty, however, nothing that far is available or have a slim chance there on the website. I am green on everything as well. Would I be able to find a unit myself that is deploying or how would I go about this ?

There is a website that you can look at that has all deployments, AGR positions etc all on it. You type in your rank, all your MOS's and it will show you what's available. Since I have retied I can't remember that site nor have access to my AKO to get it off my email. I had it at one point because I use to look. Hopefully someone can send you the link.

Not sure how it is now, but most higher commands used to have a mob officer. I know back in 2007 when I was a UA in the 88th all I had to do was call this Major with the soldiers information and if he had an MOS that was in need they would get orders cut and deployed with one of our sister units. But I would depend on your MOS and the needs of the unit deploying. Plus just trying to find a unit yourself means your commander must be willing to let you go. If the orders come down from higher your commander may not have much say in it.

Tour of Duty or MOBCOP. Additionally, attempt to join a MCPOD.
