The procedure for dismissal from military service due to family circumstances

Every serviceman who goes through mobilization or contract service sooner or later faces the issue of dismissal. The grounds for dismissal are clearly defined by legislation, namely in Article 26 of the Law of Ukraine "On Military Duty and Military Service". However, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the grounds in peacetime and during martial law are somewhat different.

In this article, we will talk about the procedure for dismissal from military service due to family circumstances.

Dismissal from military service for family reasons may occur in cases where a serviceman is faced with special family difficulties or circumstances that do not allow the serviceman to continue serving.

How to dismiss from military service due to family circumstances?

In order to be discharged from military service, a serviceman must submit a report to the unit commander, which will state the reason for discharge.

A report is a written report of a military serviceman, which reflects certain events, the state of affairs, or the performance of duties assigned to him. A report may be written by a service member to inform higher ranks or command about certain aspects of his service or events of importance.

A "discharge report" is a written document that a serviceman submits to express his desire to complete his military service and be discharged from the army or other military service.

Report writing is an important part of military discipline as it enables the collection, analysis and transmission of information to the higher command for effective management and decision making.

How to submit a report?

Since the criteria for the report are not officially established, the report can be written by hand or printed.

• However, first, find out about your military unit's reporting requirements and procedures. Read all internal rules and regulations that apply to reporting.
• Prepare a document: write a report clearly stating your reasons and details with reference to the legislation. Use official format and official language.
• Signature and Date: Sign the report personally and indicate the exact date of submission.
• Be sure to register this report in order to receive a response to it.

It should be taken into account that this is an "ideal algorithm of actions", but in practice there are a lot of problems and questions that may arise when submitting a report for dismissal. It often happens that reports are not considered or they simply get lost. Therefore, it is better to submit the report in two copies: one to give to the commander, and the other with a signature on the registration of such a report to keep.

As practice shows, a delay in dismissal also occurs when the report is returned because it is incorrectly drawn up, so the best option would be to trust a lawyer. For this, contact the "Prikhodko&Partners" JC, which employs experienced specialists.
