Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth stated that ‘unvaccinated Soldiers present risk to the force and jeopardize readiness.’
WASHINGTON (LifeSiteNews) — The U.S. Army is set to immediately discharge soldiers who refuse to take one of the COVID-19 injections, according to a memo released by Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth.
The policy, released February 2 and “effective immediately,” orders military commanders to “initiate involuntary administrative separation proceedings” for servicemen who have not taken a COVID jab, and who do not have a “pending or approved exemption request.”
The “involuntary separation policy” applies to the Regular Army. It also applies to reserve soldiers on active duty for more than 30 days; cadets at West Point and the United States Military Academy Preparatory School (USMAPS); and the Senior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (SROTC).
Soldiers who are set to retire on or before July 1 of this year are exempt from the mandate, but must complete their retirement “as soon as practicable through expedited processes in lieu of involuntary separation.”
Wormuth, appointed as Army Secretary in May 2021, wrote that servicemen who are fired for refusing to comply with the mandate will not be eligible for “involuntary separation pay and may be subject to termination and recoupment of any unearned special or incentive pays.”
Furthermore, Wormuth’s memo states that a soldier fired under these conditions “may be required to repay the unearned portion of the pay or benefit in accordance with current policy and regulations.”

Too bad we could really use them to fight in a pointless war in Ukraine.
These are the future leaders of the revolution.
Never has it been easier to get a good paying job. They will almost all go on to bigger and better things.
Herd’em Up
Ride’em In
Shoot’m Up
The SecDefComPoop needs to be held accountable for this.
I pretty sure the military is about to lose a court case this week over religious exemptions, but it won’t be of any help to those who did file for it.
Does the SCOTUS have anything to say about this practice?
Or in a meaningful war on our Southern border.
The buck stops at Biden’s desk.
That OK. AZ will be able to use them to defend its southern border.
Could the Secretary of the Army also be mildly stupid like Joe Biden? Her assertion that unvaccinated Soldiers present risk to the force and jeopardize readiness is UNSUPPORTED, is it not?
Given all of the controversy about the efficacy of vaccination and boosters, how can any person with common sense claim that the unvaccinated present risk?
Should she not wait a little while longer until the data are assessed? Several countries already have gotten rid of mandates and vaccine passports, Great Britain, Sweden, Finland, Ireland...
What has happened to our Army?
Be interesting to see how the Army try’s to get around the title 10 law protecting soldier with over 18 years service from being discharge until they attain 20 years active federal service.
>>Never has it been easier to get a good paying job.<<
Where?
Plenty of Oil&Gas engineers looking.
Lunchbucket Joe wouldn’t know a buck if it slapped his face. He’s beyond help.
At some point true warriors will no longer enlist. If you don’t to ever worry about your kids getting drafted in Biden’s BS Ukraine issue keep your kids from the vax
Maybe somebody can start a go fund me site to help them. Lol. I crack myself up.
Judging by the number of calls recruiters make to my house to sign-up my kids, I would guess recruitment is really tanking.
Screw the army screw the Air Force screw the marines and screw the navy. Screw the Defense secretary and the CIC. SCREW THEM ALL.
Destroying our military by leftist soon to be followed by the final destruction of America. We’ll be speaking either Chinese on the west coast and Russian on the east coast.
