I agree with Apollyon. You will lose some of it, particularly if your method of determining strength is measured by weightlifting.

The good news is that getting it back will be really quick, as neural adaptation is far more rapid the second time around.

The other good news is you can protect yourself from some, if not most, of your strength loss by improvising resistance training without weights. You may even gain strength in some exercises.

The easiest method is with bodweight exercises. Squats, dips, chins, pushups etc.

Then improvised resistance - using sandbags, rocks, barrels, other people - anything that provides weight.

Another option is to take some portable resistance equipment with you such as exercise cables.

Sounds like you are all set up already

You might find that an Exercise Cable maybe be a far more portable option than a chin bar for working your back etc.

As for exercise frequency, that all depends on your ability to recover from exercise. Do as much as you can recover from and the least you can get away with.

Which, for bare bones maintenance of fitness levels, 30 mins twice a week should do it.
