What’s the regulation for post partum soldiers going on deployment?

You are considered deployable after 6 months from the day of the child’s birth. See AR 614-30, Chapter 3-18, para a (4). There commander might grant some exceptions but those are very rare.

New guidance has been put out. Women are not deployable until 12 months after giving birth. NDAA 2020, Public Law (Sec 572). To deploy before then, the mother has to elect the deployment and he cleared by medical personnel.

While the the regulation does state that Service Members may deploy six months after termination of pregnancy that is not the end all. There is a lot that goes into the determination. This includes the physical state of postpartum Soldier. If the Service Member had a complicated pregnancy they may not be able to return to full duty. Additionally, the commander may make a determination that in the best interest of government resources it makes no fiscal sense to send someone just to bring them right back. I would recommend that you have an open dialogue with your command team. But remember that we are Soldiers first. Also don't forget to enroll in the Pregnancy and Postpartum Physical Training program at your local Installation to ensure you and you baby are healthy and you are successful in a return to a ready state.
