The Army is terminating the use of temporary early retirement authority, or TERA, for Soldiers with less than 20, but at least 15 years of service.
"Since 2012, temporary early retirement authority has served as an effective tool for drawing down the Army's end strength," said Secretary of the Army Mark T. Esper in a memorandum released Dec. 15. "However, the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2017 increased Army end strength and we have ceased the drawdown."
With the drawdown ended, the Army has put in place a process to end the use of TERA earlier than originally planned, in a way to ensure a smooth transition, said Hank Minitrez, with the Army's Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-1.
Soldiers eligible for TERA must submit a request through their chain of command no later than Jan. 15. Commanders are required to expedite the applications, as the authority to approve TERA requests will expire on Feb. 28.
