What is timeliness?
Congress requires all transitioning soldiers to receive a preseparation briefing no later than 90 days prior to separation or retirement. Your unit timeliness rate for the month is calculated by counting all of your soldiers who received a preseparation briefing during the month and dividing that number into the number of those soldiers who had 90 or more days remaining in the service as of the date of the briefing. The ACAP Center can tell you your unit’s timeliness percentage for the month as well as the names of the soldiers who did not comply with the 90-day rule.
