Discharge. To liberate or free; to terminate or extinguish. A discharge is the act or instrument by which a contract or agreement is ended. A mortgage is discharged if it has been carried out to the full extent originally contemplated or terminated prior to total execution.
Types of Military Discharges. Many civilians commonly assume that people âretireâ from the military when they leave the service, which isnât always the case. Receiving a discharge, or separation, is not the same thing as military retirement. A military discharge is simply defined as a military member being released from their obligation to continue service in the armed forces. A discharge relieves the veteran from any future military service obligations where as a retired reserve individual may be called back to active duty.
