Non-commissioned officers early discharge policy

The People's Liberation Army Interim Measures for the Placement of Non-Commissioned Officers on Active Duty, Article 6 stipulates: "Non-commissioned Officers who have not completed the required number of years of active service, have seriously violated discipline, or insist on being discharged from active service without a valid reason, may be discharged from the armed forces according to compulsory military service, upon approval; home towns and municipalities, the people's government is not responsible for the arrangement of work. Non-commissioned officers who insist on being withdrawn from active service without a valid reason shall be accompanied by a written application from themselves." As long as the conditions are met by the division (brigade) level units above the approval of the command organ, can be withdrawn from active service in advance.
