Lieu of Trial by Court-Martial4) Processing Administrative Separations when Soldiers are Enrolled in DES Once the MEB has been initiated, the separation authority may not take final action on the administrative separation action until after the MEB makes a final medical retention determination of whether the Soldier either meets retention standards or does not meet retention standards. If the MEB determines the Soldier does
not meet retention standards, the MEB will recommend referral of the Soldier to the PEB. The MTF Commander will notify the unit commander of the planned referral of a Soldier to a PEB and obtain from the commander a written statement confirming whether any adverse personnel action is being considered against the Soldier and describing the Soldier’s current duty performance. If the MEB determines the Soldier meets retention standards, then the IDES process for that Soldier is complete – thereby allowing final action to betaken with regard to that Soldier’s administrative separation action.
When the MEB recommends referral to the PEB and the Soldier is pending separation for Fraudulent Entry or Misconduct, under the provisions of Chapters 7 or 14, respectively, of AR
635-200, the General Court-Martial Convening Authority (GCMCA)
must direct, in writing, whether to proceed with the IDES process (i.e. the PEB) or administrative separation. In such cases, it is the duty of the MTF Commander to furnish copies of the approved MEB proceedings to the Soldier’s unit commander and GCMCA prior to initiation of the PEB so that the GCMCA can make its determination.
