Which disposition could the IPEB recommend as a formal outcome?

• A. Reassignment to a civilian position
• B. Administrative separation with no severance
• C. Return to Duty
• D. Honorary recognition

Answer: (C)

The IPEB’s formal outcomes focus on whether a service member with medical issues can continue serving and under what conditions. When the board determines that the medical issue isn’t permanently disabling and the service member can meet the required standards to perform duties, a formal disposition to Return to Duty is issued. This means the member is medically fit to resume or continue their duties, possibly with a profile or limitations as needed, rather than being separated or reassigned to a civilian role. Other options don’t reflect a typical IPEB formal outcome. Reassignment to a civilian position isn’t a standard IPEB decision, and administrative separation with no severance isn’t a usual formal disposition from the IPEB. Honorary recognition isn’t related to medical fitness or duty status.
