Iowa National Guard deployment?

The Iowa National Guard is currently in their deployment cycle. But there is no deployment for us. Is this a result of the 'Wars' winding down? Or is active Army getting all the missions?

I was told in my course by an O-6 that the units that are currently overseas or the scheduled ones close to deploying were the last ones for Afghanistan. I would say this is the end for deploying units unless something drastic happens. I may be wrong but honestly, I don't see anyone else deploying now unless you were already trained up and schedule to close the FOBs to the ANA.

There are still deployments going on. Few states are getting missions. It depends on your state and your TAGs willingness to deploy. I am going to Jordan soon and our sister battalion is picking up a Kosovo deployment. They are out there but they are few and far between.
