Soldiers must provide documentation to support their claim (e.g., DA Form 31 or LES) and submit it through the unit S1 or Personnel Administrative Center. Paternity leave must be taken within 45 days of the child's birth; deployed Soldiers must take the leave within 60 days after returning from deployment. Leave not taken within the established timeframe will be lost. Single Soldiers who father a child out-of-wedlock are not eligible for paternity leave.
Typical US Army deployments to conflict zones (Afghanistan, Korea, Bosnia, etc.) are one year, but commonly range anywhere between 6-18 months depending on the assigned mission and the levels of theatre deployment ready troops. Deployments under 6 months are rare across the board but do happen in done circumstances. I haven't heard of anything longer than 18 months, unless you count back to back deployments, but with the drawdown I doubt that's an issue anymore.
