Once the Submit Departure updates the Member's record, what is the updated Permanent Assignment Status?

• A. Departed to Assignment
• B. Active
• C. In Transit
• D. Returned

Answer: (A)

The action of submitting a departure signals that the member is no longer at the current assignment and is moving toward their next one, so the system marks the Permanent Assignment Status to reflect that transition. The label “Departed to Assignment” directly communicates that the departure has been recorded and the member is heading to a new assignment. This is distinct from still being at the post (Active) or merely in travel without formal assignment changes (In Transit), and from returning after an assignment (Returned). In practice, after submitting departure, you’d expect to see the status indicate they’ve left the current assignment and are on the way to the next.
