Vacation. Every soldier, from brand-new recruits in their first days of training to the most senior general, earns the same vacation time, which the Army calls âleave.â Compared with many civilian jobs, the military benefit of earning 30 days of Army leave a year is terrific. soldier may also take leave for personal reasons and emergency situations. Also, from time to time, a soldierâs unit may declare what is called a âtraining holiday.â This is a free day off that recognizes extra work done, perhaps by training through a weekend. These days are not counted as leave.
Typical US Army deployments to conflict zones (Afghanistan, Korea, Bosnia, etc.) are one year, but commonly range anywhere between 6-18 months depending on the assigned mission and the levels of theatre deployment ready troops. Deployments under 6 months are rare across the board but do happen in done circumstances. I haven't heard of anything longer than 18 months, unless you count back to back deployments, but with the drawdown I doubt that's an issue anymore.
