North Carolina Military Officer Criminal Defense Attorney
The board of inquiry is essentially an administrative separation board for commissioned officers called to examine all the particulars of the event, allegation, or performance of duties. A board of inquiry is an administrative process established to determine whether an officer's misconduct or non-performance of duty warrants administrative separation. It is generally convened after an incident or event that adversely affects the performance or reputation of the branch involved and/or the officer himself. Under the administrative regulations, a board of inquiry is made up of officers higher in rank than the officer appearing before the board.
