What documentation is required for a member to request a compassionate reassignment?

A member requesting a compassionate reassignment must provide documentation that validates the need for such a request, particularly based on family circumstances. This is crucial because compassionate reassignment is typically granted in instances where personal hardship, such as a family member's health issue or other significant circumstances, necessitates a change in duty station.

Simply providing a verbal explanation of the situation lacks the necessary substantiation required for such a serious request. Documentation is critical for evaluating the legitimacy of the claim and ensuring that decisions are made based on verifiable information rather than anecdotal evidence.

Previous assignments and performance reports are relevant for other personnel evaluations but do not directly support the rationale for a compassionate reassignment. Similarly, the idea that no documentation is required is not valid, as it conflicts with the established protocols for substantiating a request based on personal or family hardships. Therefore, documentation proving the need based on family circumstances is the essential component needed to support the request effectively.
