What percentage of non-pilot USAFA officers get deployed?
That would totally depend on their job. Some more than others. I can't give you a specific number, but if you're an ICMB Missile Officer, your chances of deploying overseas to a "War Zone" are probably significantly less than if you were an Intel, Communications, or Logistics officer. Also, there's probably a need for more Operations Support type officers than there are for weather field related officers. Percentage wise, it's probably similar to that of the enlisted. I.e. Higher percentage of security forces enlisted deployed than ICMB Missile Maintenance enlisted.
When you say "USAFA officers" do you mean grads or officers currently assigned to USAFA?
I don't know if the AF even keeps stats on how often people from each commissioning source deploy. You could figure it out, but I'm not sure it really matters. A Combat Rescue Officer is likely to be gone more than at home. A Research Scientist probably doesn't have much do to in Afghanistan.
Duty sometimes calls for everyone, regardless of what you do or what plans you make...
