Figure 1–2. Sample memorandum for victims of sexual assault statement for administrative separation Chapter 2 Release from Active Duty of Reserve Component Commissioned and Warrant Officers Section I Introduction 2–1. Scope This chapter sets forth the tasks, rules, and steps for the release from active duty (REFRAD) of RC officers and officers of the Army of the United States without specification of component, including those assigned to other than DA agencies. Release from AD requests are restricted to USAR officers who have not fulfilled their initial 8-year MSO or USAR officers who have fulfilled their initial MSO but who wish to voluntarily transition from the ADL to the reserve active status list (RASL), with assignment to the Individual Ready Reserve/Selected Reserve. 2–2. Separation approval authority Commanders listed in a through c, below, are known as separation approval authorities (SAAs), and unless otherwise stated they are granted the authority to approve declination of RA status that were processed prior to 11 November 2005. The SAA cannot disapprove a request (with the exception of HRC–St. Louis for USAR AGR officers) but will make a recommendation and forward to CDR, HRC (AHRC–OPD–A); HQDA (DAJA–PT); or HQDA (DACH–PER), as applicable; or for USAR AGR officers, to CDR, HRC–St. Louis (AHRC–AR). The CDR, HRC or equivalent authority, is the separation approval authority for all fully qualified requests outside the provisions of Stop Loss; however, cases involving ADSO waivers may either be approved/disapproved by the appropriate waiver level or the requested separation date may be deferred to the end of the respective ADSO to prevent the officer from reapplying for REFRAD.This authority will not be further delegated without prior approval of the Secretary of the Army. a. General officers in command of Army Medical Centers. 10 AR 600–8–24 12 April 2006/RAR 19 November 2008
. Commanders of units and installations having general court-martial (GCM) authority. c. Commanders of— (1) Personnel centers. (2) Training centers. (3) OCONUS replacement depots. (4) All active Army installations authorized 4,000 or more AD military personnel. (5) HRC–St. Louis. d. Unless otherwise stated, the appropriate related paragraph will be cited as the separation authority. e. The related separation program designator (SPD) codes are provided in AR 635–5–1. 2–3. Status upon separation a. Unless discharged, officers holding a Reserve appointment will retain their current permanent grade in the RC. b. Service academy graduates and Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) distinguished military graduates (DMG) who are released/separated from AD before completing their ADSO will complete the remainder of their ADSO in the Selected Reserve. This requirement may only be waived by the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower and Reserve Affairs) (ASA (M&RA)) or their delegate if he or she determines that no unit vacancy is available for the officer. The Selected Reserve includes troop units of the ARNGUS and Army Reserve, the AGR Program, and Individual Mobilization Augmentation Program. c. Army Regulation 135–91 defines various statutory and contractual service obligations (to include methods of fulfillment) incurred by Reserve personnel on initial entry into military service. Officers not continued on AD in another status will be released from AD and returned to Army National Guard of the United States (ARNGUS) or USAR by separation orders. d. An officer must serve in the Armed Forces until completion of the statutory MSO (10 USC 651). In accordance with DODI 1304.25, an officer has an 8–year MSO. REFRAD under provisions of chapter 2 of this regulation does not terminate the MSO. An officer who requests REFRAD before completing the 8–year MSO must complete the MSO in a RC, or submit a resignation under chapter 3 of this regulation with a request for waiver of the MSO by the ASA (M&RA). To waive an officer’s MSO, the ASA (M&RA) must find that the officer has no potential for service under conditions of full mobilization. 2–4. Years of service a. For the purpose of this chapter, years of service applies to all periods of service in which the officer held an appointment as a commissioned officer, other than constructive service and service as a warrant officer. b. Travel time will be included in years of service computation for officers who are ordered to AD exceeding 30 calendar days (37 USC 204 (b)). Section II Task: Process Voluntary Release from Active Duty Due to Personal Reasons 2–5. Rules for processing voluntary release from active duty due to personal reasons a. If eligible under the criteria prescribed below, an officer may request REFRAD (see fig 2–1) whenever such action is considered appropriate. Unless specified otherwise in this paragraph, application for REFRAD will be submitted not earlier than 12 months or no later than 6 months before the desired release date or beginning date of transition leave, whichever is the earliest. The officer’s immediate (or higher) commander/supervisor may waive the 6–month requirement if the needs of the Army are met through a change in mission requirement or the assignment of a replacement officer. b. To be eligible for REFRAD under this section, an officer must have— (1) Completed the current period of service required by law or the minimum period required by the program that placed the officer on AD as a commissioned or warrant officer. (2) Completed 1 year of current AD commitment, unless such commitment was submitted and approved with stipulations of AR 135–215 or AR 140–30 for AGR officers that authorize earlier REFRAD. (3) Fulfilled the following additional service requirements, as applicable: (a) Officers who have departed the CONUS normally will be required to complete the current prescribed tour for the areas of assignment as specified in AR 614–30, unless returned earlier under existing policies. (b) Officers who have attended service schools or civilian educational institutions or participated in special training for which a utilization tour is required, or who have received continuation or accession pay, normally will complete the period of service specified. The period of service will be as specified by AR 350–100 and other appropriate regulations under which officers applied for or received such schooling or benefits. (c) Officers on orders for assignment to a military mission, a Military Assistance Advisory Group, or attache office must complete their training and the OCONUS tour of duty prescribed by AR 614–30.
