I think I can clear up something for you VOLAR era troops. In previous days, personnel rotated, not groups. Overseas tours had the following duration.

1st Gp - Oki 3 years
5th Gp - RVN 12 months.
8th GP -Canal Zone 2 years
10TH Gp -Germany 3 years.
46th Co - Thailand 2 years.

These are for accompanied married personnel. They were sometimes shorter for unaccompanied and single personnel.

Tours at Bragg were for 1 - 3 years. There were professional homsteaders but these were the normal tours.

As a result, the longer you served in SF the more groups you may have served in.
