Activated vs deployed implies recalled to active duty.
Ok, hadn’t heard that. Army here. Have always heard deployed for active duty units, and activated for reserve/guard units. I’m on the fence whether this refers to Corp units, formerly retired individuals, or military tribunals. Not sweating it though, could be disinfo to sweat some traitor balls. If not disinfo, wouldn’t expect it to be clear enough to telegraph the mission to the enemy. Future proves past. I trust the PLAN.
