Deployment Rate for Military Dietitians?

I'm really interested in nutrition and was thinking of pursuing dietetics in the military after high school. Before making a decision, I wanted to know, do military dietitians often get deployed?

The rate of deployment for military dietitians can depend on several factors such as the branch of the military they enlist in, current geopolitical situations, and the needs of the military at the time. That said, it's important to note that as a military dietitian, you could potentially be deployed in a combat zone or humanitarian mission, just like any other military personnel.

However, it is just as likely, if not more so, for a military dietitian to be stationed at a military base, providing nutritional care and advice to active-duty military members, their families, or veterans. The military highly values the health and well-being of their members and dietitians play a crucial role in this aspect.

Moreover, the military often has programs where dietitians are engaged in research, menu planning and nutrition education. These kinds of roles would likely not see deployment in the traditional sense.

Nonetheless, it would be a good idea to contact a military recruiter who can give you more accurate and up-to-date information regarding the deployment rates for military dietitians.
