Can I be demoted without Paperwork or an explanation?

The comprehensive guide to the Military Decision Making Process (MDMP)

Myself and two others were demoted prior to a mission without being told why and we were told we didn’t have the right to see the paperwork. Two weeks later we were given our rank back. Nothing was said about the issue every again. To this day I don’t know why!

Based on the information you provided:

A Soldier cannot be reduced without paperwork nor an explanation. Reduction in rank requires an Article 15 process, action under a Courts Martial or an administrative reduction board.

In all cases the Soldier will receive paperwork and their will be an explanation.
