Administrative Separation

Fort Campbell Administrative Separation Boards

Kentucky & Tennessee Administrative Separation Lawyers

An administrative separation board is an option for a service member to challenge an involuntary separation from service, thus avoiding a “dishonorable discharge” or an “other than honorable discharge.” The separation board will consist of three officers who will hear evidence and make a recommendation to a superior officer, usually an admiral or general, who will then make the final decision.

Having a skilled attorney on your side at your hearing will likely make all the difference in the outcome of your case and whether you are discharged or are allowed to return to service.
