Best Answer

Marines Special Forces normally deploy on board naval vessels in a group of three ships called an Amphibious Readiness Group, or ARG. A normal deployment is six months. They will deploy on the ship, conduct any mission required, and then return back to the United States on the same ship. However, during war time such as that which we are in now, they may deploy for up to a year.
