Hello,
Nurses will often be deployed alongside other members of the armed forces. Most of the time medical staff are deployed to look after the soldiers, but occasionally the main mission may be to provide medical care to civilians.
Usually deployments last 3-6 months, but may vary. The frequency varies depending on whether you join as a soldier or an officer, and what roles you are posted in to.
