Definition and Examples
- Definition
- An Administrative Discharge refers to the release of a service member from their military obligations without the involvement of a court-martial. It is based on administrative reasons rather than punitive ones. This type of discharge can be classified into various categories, such as honorable, other than honorable, or general, based on the circumstances and reasons for the separation. Administrative discharges can result from factors like medical conditions, patterns of misconduct, or other non-judicial reasons.
