I will put it in a garage during these times. But apart from that any specific advices to avoid the car to "suffer" from this? What about the battery for example?

Thanks!
I have been on two deployments thus far and both times I had my uncle (old mustang enthusiast) to look after it in his garage. If you have someone that could start it once every about 2-3 weeks, you shouldnt have any issues at all.

*If you are just storing it with no supervision I suggest: Disconnecting your battery, store it FULL with gas, use a fuel additive (ive used EW Fuel Additive Storage Stabilizer before), Place a piece of plastic wrap on the windshield under the wiper blades to prevent the rubber from sticking to the glass (for warmer climates), change your oil if you havent recently with a new filter, release the parking brake (chock wheels instead), fill all fluids, and make sure your car is clean!

Two to three months isnt all that long, these are just easy things I think about when I leave my car. Depending if there are possibly animals around you (Outside or some garages) you might want to put something like a cloth in the tail pipe to make sure nothing crawls in it and makes a home. Have a safe trip man!
