Abstract:

Since 1985 when the Selective Early Retirement Board SERB was established as a drawdown tool for senior officers, little attention has been given to the effects of early retirement on the individuals or the organization. This paper describes the problems and issues related to mandatory retirement. SERB eligible officers expressed strong reactions to the SERB which were categorized as gut level reactions, reality testing, or philosophy. Potential long term effects on the Army were addressed. Serb, Early retirement.
