This is correct. The individuals in a platoon, company, or battalion deploy together. A change of station comes up at different times for different individuals (and, of course, their families). As a spouse, you may meet a gal you click with from the start but find out they are scheduled to transfer to a new location soon after the friendship becomes meaningful. The soldier enters into another job right away and you're left to start over alone in a new environment (you meet new people but they're strangers again).
If the unit in the group or brigade is inactivated and redesigned elsewhere, then the unit itself can move from one state to another,(or overseas) so soldiers (US Army) can actually be stationed with one another again. Speaking from experience when I was a kid.
IMOO.
