If a court-martial sentences a Reserve member to more than six months of confinement, the armed force can separate that member. This can happen once the sentence becomes final and the member has served six months in confinement. Secretary of Defense regulations can set exceptions to this rule.

If a court-martial sentences a Reserve member to confinement for more than six months, that member's armed force may separate them from service. This can happen once two things are both true: the sentence has become final under chapter 47 of this title, and the member has already served six months of that confinement. The Secretary of Defense can write regulations that create exceptions to this rule.
