As of Sept 30th 2009.
20,300 were deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom
8,100 were deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom
2,750 were deployed to other countries not in the theater, in support of operations in OIF or OEF
So about 6.1% of the Air Force active duty, Reserve or Air Guard is deployed .
VS:
14% of the active duty army, reserve and national guard.
6.2% of the active duty navy, and naval reserves.
9.5% of the active duty marine corps and marine reserve..
