Hi Chloe,

In short it's unit dependent. It can vary massively based on each units ongoing commitments to Operations.

I've deployed as little as a few weeks, up to 11 months on an annual basis. So not 2 years are ever the same.
CMT's can be integrated into any unit anywhere in the tri servicec, so it makes for a fantastic trade for travel opportunities.
