deployees
Workers dispatched abroad
Deployees are people who have been deployed—sent to a particular location or assignment, typically by an employer, military, or organization.
The term follows the pattern of employee or trainee, marking the person as the recipient of the action: The company provided housing for all deployees and their families.
Most common in military and corporate contexts where personnel are reassigned to distant posts.
