              CHAPTER I--OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE

 

PART 75_CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS--Table of Contents

 

Sec.  75.7  Action after decision.



    (a) Applicants requesting discharge who are determined to be 1-O 

conscientious objectors by the headquarters of the service concerned 

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.
