Army to lower discharge points amid pressure in Congress
Washington reports the army plans to cut discharge point requirements from 5 to between 76 and 80 in the coming weeks while promising no change to the 40 year age rule for automatic discharge. House committee members expect no regulatory shift but acknowledge pressure from families and economic impact on older soldiers. The army aims to release about 1,300,000 men on new ethics scores, with 76,000 additional releases for health and age over the next year, plus broader goals for 7,000,000 to defeat Japan.
