(a) Applicants requesting discharge who are determined to be 1-O conscientious objectors by the headquarters of the service concerned will be discharged for the convenience of the Government with entry in personnel records and discharge papers that the
reason for separation is conscientious objection. The type of discharge issued will be governed by the applicant's general military record and the pertinent provisions of part 41 of this title. The Director of the Selective Service System will be promptly notified of the discharge of those who have served less than one hundred and eighty (180) days in the Armed Forces. Pending separation, the applicant will continue to be assigned duties providing the minimum practicable conflict with his professed beliefs and will be expected to conform to the normal requirements of military service and to perform satisfactorily such duties to which he is assigned. Applicants may be disciplined for violations under the Uniform Code of Military Justice while awaiting discharge. (b) Applicants requesting assignment to noncombatant duties who are determined to be class 1-A-O conscientious objectors by the military department shall be (1) assigned to noncombatant duty as defined in § 75.3, or (2) discharged from military service or released from active duty, at the discretion of the military department. Each applicant will be required to execute the statement in § 75.11.
(c) Persons who are assigned to noncombatant duties, and persons who are assigned to normal military duties by reason of disapproval of their applications, will be expected to conform to the normal requirements of military service and to perform satisfactorily such duties to which they are assigned. Violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice by these members will be treated as in any other situation.
