The U.S. Army sent a letter to former service members dismissed for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine that informs them they can request corrections of their discharge records, as the military branch reportedly struggles with recruitment three years after the onset of the pandemic.
The letter, which gained traction on social media, was addressed to former service members that notifies of "new Army guidance regarding the correction of military records for former members of the Army following the rescission of the COVID-19 vaccination requirement."
It states, "as a result of the rescission of all current COVID-19 vaccination requirements, former Soldiers who were involuntarily separated for refusal to receive the COVID-19 vaccination may request a correction of their military records from either or both the Army Discharge Review Board (ADRB) or the Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR)."
The letter was signed by Brig. Gen. Hope C. Rampy, of the U.S. Army Director of the Military Personnel Management Office. It goes on to link to three forms where "individuals can request a correction to military personnel records, including regarding the characterization of discharge."
