What does it mean when an individual is given a delimited status in GCSS-Army?

A delimited status in GCSS-Army indicates that the individual's records are inactivated in the system. This status is typically assigned when a soldier is no longer associated with their previous unit or when their status has changed such that they are no longer active in that system. It helps ensure that records are kept up to date and that only current personnel are reflected in the system. This status can be necessary for various administrative reasons, such as when an individual leaves the army or moves to a different unit and their previous records no longer require active management.

The other responses do not accurately reflect the meaning of a delimited status. Promotions, transfers, and temporary unavailability imply a different operational status within the system and do not align with the definition of records being inactivated.
