INDIVIDUAL AUGMENTEE:
In contrast to a Sailor that deploys with a ship, squadron or unit, a Sailor who leaves their assigned unit or command to deploy individually or with a small group is known as an Individual Augmentee (IA). Most IAs are concentrated in the U.S. Central Command region, which includes Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, and Bahrain.
