Administrative Separations

Administrative separations in a military context refer to the process by which a service member is discharged from the military for reasons other than formal disciplinary actions or criminal offenses. This can include performance issues, misconduct, or failure to meet enlistment standards. Such separations are typically less severe than court-martial outcomes and can result in various types of discharges, ranging from honorable to general or other-than-honorable discharges. The aim is to maintain military readiness and standards while ensuring service members are treated fairly within the framework of military regulations.
