PART IV - PREHEARING REVIEW

SECTION A-ANALYST’S ASSESSMENT
l. Facts and Circumstances:

         a. Evidence of record shows that on 24 June 1991, the unit commander notified the applicant of initiation of separation action under the provisions of Chapter l4, AR 635-200, by reason of misconduct—commission of a serious offense, with a general discharge. He was advised of his rights. The applicant acknowledged notification, consulted with legal counsel, was advised of the impact of the discharge action, and did not submit a statement on his own behalf. The unit commander subsequently recommended waiver of further rehabilitative efforts. The intermediate commander reviewed the proposed discharge action and recommended approval of the separation action with a general discharge. On 11 July 1991, the separation authority directed that the applicant be discharged with a general discharge.

         b. On 31 July 1991, the applicant was discharged. At the time of discharge, the applicant had 1 year, 4 months, and 3 days service on his current enlistment.

         c. The unit commander indicated that his specific reasons for initiating separation action were: a summarized Article 15 for disobeying a lawful order of a noncommissioned officer (NCO); a field grade Article 15 for disobeying and threatening a NCO and for leaving his appointed place of duty; setting a poor example and undermining the trust and confidence placed in him by the Army; and, flagrant disregard for military standards of conduct and discipline.

2. Legal/Regulatory Basis for Separation Action : Army Regulation 635-200 sets forth the basic authority for the separation of enlisted personnel. Chapter l4 establishes policy and prescribes procedures for separating members for misconduct. Specific categories include minor disciplinary infractions, a pattern of misconduct, commission of a serious offense, to include abuse of illegal drugs, convictions by civil authorities and desertion or absence without leave. Action will be taken to separate a member for misconduct when it is clearly established that rehabilitation is impractical or unlikely to succeed. Army policy states that an under other than honorable conditions discharge is normally considered appropriate, but a general discharge under honorable conditions or an honorable discharge may be granted.
