thumb|The cashiering of Alfred Dreyfus on 5 January 1895 Cashiering (or degradation ceremony), generally within military forces, is a ritual dismissal of an individual from some position of responsibility for a breach of discipline.
==Etymology== From the Flemish (to dismiss from service; to discard [troops]), the word entered the English language in the late 16th century, during the wars in the Low Countries.
