will be discharged for the convenience of the Government with entry in 
personnel records and discharge papers that the reason for separation is 
conscientious objection. The type of discharge issued

will be governed by the applicant's general military record and the 
pertinent provisions of part 41 of this title. The Director of the 
Selective Service System will be promptly notified of the discharge of 
those who have served less than one hundred and eighty (180) days in the 
Armed Forces. Pending separation, the applicant will continue to be 
assigned duties providing the minimum practicable conflict with his 
professed beliefs and will be expected to conform to the normal 
requirements of military service and to perform satisfactorily such 
duties to which he is assigned. Applicants may be disciplined for 
violations under the Uniform Code of Military Justice while awaiting 
discharge.
    (b) Applicants requesting assignment to noncombatant duties who are 
determined to be class 1-A-O conscientious objectors by the military 
department shall be (1) assigned to noncombatant duty as defined in 
Sec. 75.3, or (2) discharged from military service or released from 
active duty, at the discretion of the military department. Each 
applicant will be required to execute the statement in Sec. 75.11.
    (c) Persons who are assigned to noncombatant duties, and persons who 
are assigned to normal military duties by reason of disapproval of their 
applications, will be expected to conform to the normal requirements of 
military service and to perform satisfactorily such duties to which they 
are assigned. Violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice by 
these members will be treated as in any other situation.
