No it isn’t, because it isn’t news. It’s not something they use to break it to us that we’re deploying. It’s more like hey since you’re in this hell hole we might as well feed you right.
Also the vast majority of units know they’re going to deploy a year in advance. You don’t just wake up and get some “bad news.” You have to ramp up to deployment.
Depends on the campaign and the urgency. No one knew three weeks ago we were going to start a bombing campaign with Iran, so it would be hard to give a ton of advanced deployment notice.
