	 Board Proceedings, 1 September l999.  

THE BOARD ADDITIONALLY FINDS:

10.  On 1 November l999, it was brought to the Board’s attention, that it had previously authorized the award of the American Defense Service Medal (ADSM) to the applicant.  This award was incorrect;  it should have authorized the award of the American Campaign Medal (ACM).

11.  Army Regulation 600-8-22 provides, in pertinent part, for award of the ADSM for service within the American Theater between 8 September 1939 and 7 December 1941 under orders to active duty for a period of 12 months or longer.  

12.  Army Regulation 600-8-22 provides, in pertinent part, for award of the ACM. This campaign medal is awarded for qualifying service in the American Theater between 7 December 1941 and 2 March 1946.  Qualifying service includes permanent assignment outside the continental United States, duty as a crewmember aboard a vessel sailing ocean waters for 30 consecutive or 60 nonconsecutive days, or duty outside the continental United States as a passenger or in a temporary duty status for 30 consecutive or 60 nonconsecutive days, or active combat against the enemy and was awarded a combat decoration or furnished a certificate by a corps commander or higher, or service within the continental United States for an aggregate period of one year.

THE BOARD ADDITIONALLY CONCLUDES: 

5.  At the time of the Board’s 1 September 1999 decision in this case, it was the intent of the Board to make the applicant’s record as administratively correct as it should properly have been at the time separation from active duty on 31 October l945.

6.  Since he did not enter active duty until 23 May l943, he would not be entitled to the ADSM.  However, since he served in the continental United States (American Theater) from 23 May l943 until he deployed to the European Theater of Operations in November l944, he had more than 1 year service in the American Theater.  Therefore, he qualified for award of the ACM.

7.  In view of the foregoing findings and conclusions, it would be appropriate to correct the applicant’s records as recommended below.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS:

That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by amending the Board’s recommendation appearing in the proceedings, dated        1 September l999, to show that the individual concerned was entitled to award of the American Campaign Medal rather than the previously approved award of the American Defense Service Medal.
