	BOARD DATE:  22 March 2000
	DOCKET NUMBER:   AR1999033094

	I certify that hereinafter is recorded the true and complete record of the proceedings of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in the case of the above-named individual.  

	Mr. Vic Whitney		Analyst	

  The following members, a quorum, were present:

	Mr. James M. Alward		Chairperson	
	Mr. Arthur A. Omartian		Member	
	Mr. Ted S. Kanamine		Member	

	The applicant and counsel if any, did not appear before the Board.

	The Board considered the following evidence:

	Exhibit A - Application for correction of military 
                records
	Exhibit B - Military Personnel Records (including
	            advisory opinion, if any)

FINDINGS:

1.  The applicant has exhausted or the Board has waived the requirement for exhaustion of all administrative remedies afforded by existing law or regulations.

2.  The applicant requests, in effect, that she receive a DD form 214 (report of separation) for her active duty in support of Operation Desert Storm.

3.  The applicant states, in effect, that the orders she submits with her application prove that she was on active duty.

4.  The applicant’s military records show that she was a member of a USAR unit that was mobilized on 20 September 1990 and reported to Fort Stewart, Georgia on 23 September 1990.  Effective 31 October 1990 the applicant and four other soldiers were transferred from their unit to the installation pending release from active duty.

5.  On 14 November 1990 the applicant was reassigned to the transition point for separation processing.  Her separation date was shown as 16 November 1990.

6.  Copies of pay documents obtained from the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) show that the applicant was on active duty from 20 September to 16 November 1990.  These records also show that she received imminent danger pay although there is no evidence of record that she was ever deployed to Southwest Asia during the Gulf War.

CONCLUSIONS:

1.  There is sufficient evidence of record to show that the applicant was on active duty in support of Operation Desert Storm and assigned to Fort Stewart, Georgia from 20 September to 16 November 1990 and is entitled to have a DD Form 214 issued to her.

2.  In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected as recommended below.

RECOMMENDATION:

That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by issuing the individual concerned a DD For 214 for her active duty from 20 September to 16 November 1990.
