Is responding to riots in Baltimore a deployment? Germany? Okinawa? Africa? Justify answer, provide rationale.

You're stationed somewhere. Your unit says "We're going somewhere else, for a little while."
You go there.
You go there.

Yes, the trip to Hawaii would (technically) be a deployment, but not in the sense that we traditionally refer to them, which is as a combat tour.

SGT Richard H. Coming from the USMC side, our MEUs "Deploy" for 6 month stretches, but they aren't always "combat tours" in the same sense that the Army's are, which creates terminology conflicts between the services.
When we get a "on a ship" for an extended period of time, we call it a Deployment. Or alternately, head over to Okinawa, same deal. So "I" would consider a Korea trip in the same light.

Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS I would agree that it's a terminology thing. The Army doesn't tend to *call* it a deployment unless it's to a combat theater, but it actually is. (if it's a unit movement, anyway).
When I was in the Corps we called it a "detachment" when it was a short trip, such as a 2 week "det" to NAS Key West. I never left home station for longer than that in the Corps.

So when CIV asks me how many times I've deployed I should say 40-50 because of all the schools and ATs I've been on?

So you and I should have 40-50 deployments listed under deployment section of RallyPoint profile? What's appropriate for said spot?

Again you can do whatever you want to do, it's your world I am just living in it. I am going to put over 1000, actually 1001 because I am getting ready to deploy to the latrine, where I will deploy a submersible, and then deploy the flush handle and watch it deploy down the hole...kind of like this thread.

If you're required to go through SRP (Soldier readiness processing) in order to be sent to a place where you're not allowed to bring your family and will be receiving hazardous duty pay and imminent danger pay, you're deployed.
