What Unit or BDE besides SF deploys to Afghanistan the most?

Just curious what Unit has the best chance of an upcoming deployment to Afghanistan if anyone knows. I feel like 101st and 10th Mountain deploy to Afghanistan the most but if anyone knows any others I’d like to know.

You may want to look into one of the SFABs.

I would say the 82nd, they're there right now and have been going continuously for the last almost 20 years

SFABs or any Combat Aviation Brigade

I can only say in the reserves it tends to be engineer battalions and aviation battalions.

Stay home. Many of my deployed people came back in sacks...

Don't come to the 101st we don't deploy all that often.

Really the entire 18th airborne Corps. 10th MTN, 82nd ABN, and 101st ABN (AASLT) all have at least one brigade deployed at pretty much all times. There may be very rare periods when everyonep is "home," but they don't last long.
