Going active after two years of reserve. Duty station at ft bliss not sure on the unit I will be ssigned to. One of the possibilities will be deploying to South Korea if I will be with the deploying unit can my family come along?

If it will be a 9 month deployment rotation and not a PCS, then no your family will probably not be able to join you

Family members are not allowed to accompany you on any deployments. If you receive assignment instructions to Korea, then you’ll have an option to take your family if you like. Good luck to you...

So normally this would be a great question, however My unit is currently here in South Korea and were the last rotational unit. We’re setting up the next unit who will become permanent party. So there won’t be anymore “deployment” to Korea after we leave. But normally you can’t bring your family

No family if on rotation. If given an assignment to Korea you may elect command sponsorship witch well take you from one year to two years. But with both of them you can pay to have your family visit. Keep in mind your still at work and duty and field and recalls may interrupt you spending time with your family if you bring them to visit.

NO, deployments are not PCS's no family on deployments- family is only with PCS and orders.
