Boards of Inquiry
A Board of Inquiry constitutes an administrative alternative to court-martial, wherein an officer’s misconduct and service record are evaluated and career determinations made. This board is vested with certain powers at its collective discretion, depending on whether or not the subject officer is retirement-eligible. Because of their long-term influence on retirement benefits and pay, boards of inquiry are extremely important.
