Military Discharge

I'm currently translating a military discharge paper from Italian to English. The person completed a compulsory year's service and is now completely exempt from any military service for his country. In Italian it is "Congedo Illimitato", do I need to find an equivalent classification, or can I just call it "Military Discharge Certificate", with a subheading "from active obligatory service"?


The translation would be read by an Australian, if that changes anything.

I have not been able to confirm your translation choice with a dictionary. However, references available on the Net suggest that your translation is accurate and understandable, and as such will do for Australia, I believe.
