| C. Reasons for Elimination Officers maybe eliminated for, among other reasons, substandard performance of duty, misconduct, or the existence of adverse or derogatory information in their official records. AR 600-8-24, paragraph 4-2 contains a list of specific, but not all inclusive, reasons that may lead to elimination. See AR 135-175 and consult your servicing judge advocate for similar reasons justifying separation of US. Army Reserve officers. 1. Substandard Performance of Duty Officers discharged exclusively for one of the following or similar conditions will be issued an honorable discharge certificate. Given that the characterization of service is limited under this paragraph to the most favorable certificate given to officers leaving the service, commanders should carefully consider the reasons for separation cited in the officer’s notification memorandum. If evidence of misconduct or professional dereliction exists, consider separation under that basis A downward trend in overall performance resulting in an unacceptable record of efficiency, or a consistent record of mediocre service.
