Grounds for Dismissal from Service
The issue of dismissal of military personnel is relevant during mobilization and military operations. There are several grounds for dismissal regulated by the legislation of Ukraine. Dismissal can occur for various reasons, and each has a clear procedure. Here are the main grounds for dismissal from service:
- Reaching the maximum age for military service. According to the law, each servicemember has an age limit for military service. Upon reaching this age, the individual is automatically dismissed from service.
- Declared unfit for service by the military medical commission (VLC). The Military Medical Commission (VLC) may determine that a servicemember's health condition prevents them from performing military duties. This is one of the grounds for dismissal.
- Disability. If an individual has acquired a disability and does not wish to continue serving, they can be dismissed either voluntarily or based on the conclusion of the medical commission.
- Court sentence with imprisonment or restriction of liberty. If a court issues a sentence that involves imprisonment or restriction of freedom, the servicemember will be dismissed from service.
- Important family circumstances. If a servicemember faces significant family circumstances, such as the need to care for a sick family member, this may be grounds for dismissal.
- Release from captivity with no desire to continue serving. A servicemember may be dismissed from service after returning from captivity and expressing a wish not to continue serving.
- Reduction of positions or non-compliance with the assigned position. In the case of staff reductions or if a servicemember does not meet the requirements for the position, they may be dismissed.
- Appointment to an important state position. If a servicemember is appointed to a position that requires dismissal from service (for example, a judge or civil servant), they will be dismissed.
How to Properly Process Dismissal?
The process of dismissal from service involves several formalities, and it is important to correctly process all documents. Here are the main steps to follow for a proper dismissal:
- Submit a report or application for dismissal. This is the first step that the servicemember must take.
- Undergo a medical commission, if necessary, to confirm unfitness for service or to confirm the existence of a disability.
- After the dismissal decision is approved, undergo the necessary procedures to transfer the case, property, and other documentation.
