In 2013 before I was kicked off AKO there was an area in the HRC home pages that you could search for openings , tours etc. Remember regardless unless your IRR you&#39;ll still have to get permission/ realeased from your current unit and it&#39;s not automatic upon your return that you can get back in that same unit you left! Good luck in your quest!

No, there isn&#39;t an Army-wide list they just pull people for, to answer your question directly.<br /><br />Your best solution, far as I&#39;ve seen others actually be successful at, is to talk to your career counselor and neighboring units. Someone, somewhere will have a slot that isn&#39;t advertised on MOBCOP for whatever reason, and put you in it. Takes a lot of networking.<br /><br />Reality is, Army isn&#39;t struggling for people to deploy, Active has everything well in hand right now-- especially as the mission over there isn&#39;t even a tenth of what the manning was a decade ago.
