I don't know what the exact ratio is, but I recall getting told in suicide awareness briefings (there were 100s) that there was not a significant statistical jump for soldiers who had deployed versus those who hadn't.
All the suicide risks I had under my command had never seen combat. Most hadn't deployed.
I guess it wouldn't be that far fetched. I was in the 101st and they've had so many deployments since I got out that most of what I hear is about guys from there though. I got out right before 9/11 so I missed all of it, but some of my friends are lifers.

I do know for a fact that suicide risk is higher in non-combat branches than in the combat ones. I read a few studies that theorized it was due to the close comraderie combat units had, vs support.
That wasn't specific to this period, but over the last 100 years or so.
