Given the current environment, how long are army deployments?? Can someone layout the various scenarios possible?? (i.e. when a deployment could be extended, etc.)

I've heard that it can vary, based on assignment. It seems to me that they are typically 6 months, but can also be from 12-15 months.

6-9 months last time I checked the SDN threads. Unless we get down and dirty with another country... or unless you're assigned to a brigade.

Brigades are now down to 9 months. If you are not assigned to a brigade it is usually only 6 - may become less, but haven't seen anything official yet on that.

A brigade would be a unit that is deployable??

A brigade is when you are assigned to a 'non-dental' unit such as an infantry unit to be their dentist.

What are advantages and disadvantages to joining a brigade or TDA? What would you advise if you have done both.
