AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-00367
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Reconsideration for award of the Air and Space Campaign Medal
(ASCM) with one Bronze Service Star (BSS) for his participation
in Operations ALLIED FORCE and NOBIL ANVIL.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
By DD Form 149, dated 17 Jan 13, the applicant requested removal
of the Article 15 he received on 14 Jun 99, reinstatement to the
rank of senior airman (E-4), a change to his 4E reentry (RE)
code, and award of the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award (AFOUA)
with eight Oak Leaf Clusters (OLCs), and the Air and Space
Campaign Medal with one BSS. On 12 Nov 13, the Board considered
and denied the requested relief noting there was no evidence to
show the Article 15 and reduction in rank was contrary to the
provisions of the governing regulations, unduly harsh, or
disproportionate to the offenses committed, or that his commander
abused his discretionary authority. It was further determined
that there was no evidence showing the contested RE code was
erroneously assigned or did not accurately reflect the
circumstances of his separation. Lastly, no evidence was found
showing the applicant served in a unit in support of a military
operation that was awarded the Air and Space Campaign Medal. For
an accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding his
request and the rationale for the earlier decision by the Board,
see the Record of Proceedings, with attachments, at Exhibit I.
By a letter the applicant states his unit (2nd Munitions
Squadron) was the only unit that maintained and loaded
Conventional Air Launch Cruise Missiles (CALM) on the B-52s that
were used during the period in question for both Operations
(Exhibit J).

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSID recommends denial of the applicants request for
award of the ASCM with one BSS noting there is no evidence of an
error or injustice. A thorough review of the applicants
official military personnel records revealed no evidence that
would serve to substantiate the applicants entitlement to the
ACSM with one BSS. There was no documentation provided by the
applicant or in his official records showing he served in
support of Operation ALLIED FORCE and NOBLE ANVIL. The
applicants final performance report rendered for the period
2 Jul 98 to 1 Jul 99 makes no mention of him providing support
to either operation.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSID evaluation is at Exhibit K.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 4 Aug 14 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit L). As of this date, no response has been received by
this office
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
After again reviewing the evidence of record, the applicants
prior submissions, and the additional evidence provided in
support of his appeal, we are not persuaded the applicants
records should be corrected to show he was awarded the Air and
Space Campaign Medal with one Bronze Service Star. There was no
evidence located in his military personnel records or provided
that shows he participated in or served in direct support of
Operations ALLIED FORCE or NOBLE ANVIL. Therefore, we find no
basis upon which to recommend granting the relief sought.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
