Imogen,
Depends on your unit and when they are forecast to be deployed.
As an educated guess,
You could possibly deploy every 2/3 years
This can vary on a few things
Hope this helps

There are units that are deploying more often in the RAC dependant on their role. Light Cav on Jackal (Light Dragoons, Queens Dragoon Guards, Royal Scots Dragoon Guards) have been hammered for deployments in recent years because of their platform. However this is changing. The Armoured Cavalry units, (Royal Lancers, Royal Dragoon Guards and Household Cavalry Regiment) on CVRT, looking towards AJAX are going to have a busy few years coming up with deployments and once AJAX has come in, will do more in order to prove the new Vehicle. The Armoured Regiments, (Royal Tank Regiment, Queens Royal Hussars and Kings Royal Hussars) have been deployed piecemeal to Op Cabrit in the Baltics, Sqns going on their own.
Have a question of your own?
How often do you see your friends and family from home?
