Like a Seabee Battalion, the UCT's have a homeport deployment cycle. The cycle is normally six months deployed and six to eight months in homeport, but it varies. Detachments of six to fifteen people may move to six different deployment sites completing projects at each site. UCT deployment sites change regularly ranging worldwide. They are usually at a military facility with BEQ's and a warehouse or other facility from which the detachment can work.
Deployments can also be aboard ships and other seagoing platforms.
