2.  Army Regulation 635-8 (Separations Documents), dated 10 February 2014, prescribed the separation documents prepared for Soldiers upon retirement, discharge, or release from active military service or control of the Active Army.  It provided that the DD Form 214 was a synopsis of the Soldier's most recent period of continuous active duty.  The DD Form 214 provided a brief, clear-cut record of active Army service at the time of release from active duty, retirement, or discharge.
