Airmen, both officers and enlisted, who volunteer for an extended 365-day deployment can apply for one of two assignment options: either an advanced assignment or a two-year deferment from a permanent change of station, if eligible. Officers who believe their duties qualify for joint credit have a year from their return to formally apply for credit. To volunteer for an extended deployment, enlisted Airmen should review EQUAL Plus and contact their functional assignment team. For more information, visit the deployment page on myPers or the 365-Day Extended Deployments webpage on the AEF Online website.
