If a deployment is scheduled 1 month prior to my ETS date, will I be able to ETS as normal?

My ETS date is October 31 2019, and I plan on leaving active to transition into the National Guard, but my unit is supposedly deploying in September of 2019. We have no official orders, no SLSM or anything yet, but I want to know if I will be able to ETS as normal.

For that matter, does anyone know if Milper 12-158 is still in effect?

You’ll be able to ETS as scheduled. Also talk with your S1 as suggested in the previous comment. Good Luck to you...

You will be offered to extend to deploy with your unit if you choose. Otherwise, you will ETS as scheduled.

SPC Private RallyPoint Member - The War of Terror, large-scale "Stop Loss" policies have all been rescinded in the Army. Your unit will most likely ask you to extend, which you will have the option to consider if you wish to do so. I am not familiar with the MILPER 12-158, but I'd suggest checking on the HRC Website to see if this is still in effect.
