Keddrick Corday Thompson: Yes. I know the legal definition of a deployment However that doesn't make it so. Still a dumb term.
You're entitled to your own opinions, but not to your own facts.
The fact, in this case, is defined by the actual definition of deployment. Mobilization is not the correct term to use for your movement to Texas. Mobilization occurs at your unit and continues at the mobilization center. Movement from the mobilization center is a deployment.
When you dismiss it as dumb, you're arguing against a fact... One that you disagree with vice accepting it for what it is.
Keddrick Corday Thompson: You can't deploy to another American state.
That's a false statement. What you can't do is "mobilize to another state", as you put it earlier in the thread. The mobilization process takes you from a "static" state to a "mobile" state. Mobilization is what's needed before deployment begins.
Again, a deployment, from a historic sense, involves movement from home base to another part of the world. It doesn't matter if it is CONUS or OCONUS. This term was also used in a localized sense.
Keddrick Corday Thompson: Im talking real Army not this new crap that makes no sense.
My definition is the real military's definition. It has historic precedence. The term "deployment" as I define it, began in the 19th Century. Ditto with "mobilization". Both originated from French terms.
It defined, in words, concepts that the military used for ages. They previously didn't have an all-encompassing definition.
Keddrick Corday Thompson: POGs consider stuff like that a deployment so they can say they been deployed... however you don't earn a deployment patch so.. basically you didn't deploy.
False.
I deployed to Iraq as an Infantryman. I received a "Shoulder Sleeve Insignia for Former Wartime Service", or SSI-FWS patch, for this deployment. It's not a "deployment patch". Meaning, not all deployments get you a patch.
By your definition, none of the deployments that I did during the 20th Century counted as a deployment... Neither did the deployments that my uncle and brother did during the 20th century. My uncle and I deployed to strategically forward positions against the Soviet Union. This occurred during different points of time in the 20th Century.
Navy SEALs don't get SSI patches for Navy Deployments. The Navy doesn't issue deployment patches for Sailors that deploy to the combat theater. Are you going to tell these SEALs that they didn't deploy?
Keddrick Corday Thompson: My story has not changed however I can see how you may think that. The MEMO was suggested by the S2 and S3 OICs with development. They both reviewed and instructed me to send directly to the BC and CSM.
Again, what you said:
"I wrote a detailed description and memo to the command team details of what I can do to provide great rear detachment. But they are not having a rear d. I have pushed this since February 2020." - Keddrick Corday Thompson
The BC and CSM are members of the battalion command team. If you sent it directly to them, and they're not having a Rear D, then that's that.
You made this statement less than a week before you argued that they were talking about having a rear detachment. From February to June, you argued for a Rear D. Your unit didn't want to have anything to do with a rear detachment. Your statement is contradictory.
