Discharge Procedure
Simplified by New War
Department Directive
From Guadalcanal to Adair
I
The War Department last week
mnounced relaxation of require
ments for discharge from the Army
of enlisted men over 38 years of
ige. so as to signify procedure and
give more discretion to command
ing officers.
The rule that a trained replace
ment must be available has been
dropped. If the applicant meets the
'ther requirements he mav be dis
charged unless such action will
seriously affect the efficiency of
the organization to which he is
assigned.
Application must be made Volun
tarily in writing, to the soldier’s
immediate commanding officer. The
applicant must present evidence
I that if discharged from the Army
i he will be employed in essential
| industry, including agriculture—■
such evidence being in the form of
a letter or statement from a pros
pective employer. the United States
Employment Service, or the appli-
I cant's Farm Agent.
Action on applications will be
i expedited, but commanding offi
cers having discharge authority
have been instructed to effect dis
charges under the new regulations
with a minimum interference with
administration, training and trans
portation facilities.
