§20401 Applicability of Certain Provisions of Law Related to Separation

Summary

Many rules in chapter 59 that apply to regular military officers and enlisted members also apply to Space Force members, unless this text or another part of the chapter changes them. Officer rules from chapter 59 apply to Space Force officers. The enlisted rules in sections 1169, 1170, 1171, 1173, 1174(b), and 1176(a) apply to Space Force enlisted. Section 1172 (for those enlisted under section 518) also applies. Section 1174 and 1176 apply differently depending on whether a Space Force member is on sustained duty or in space force active status. Section 1175 about voluntary moves to the reserves covers voluntary release from active duty for members on sustained duty.
