AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSID recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or an injustice. The ASCM may be awarded to member of
the United States Air Force who, after 24 Mar 99, supported a
significant United States military operation designated by the
Chief of Staff of the Air Force as qualifying of the ASCM.
Members who provided direct support for 30 consecutive or
60 nonconsecutive days to one of these operations at home
station or from outside of the geographic area of combat qualify
for award of the ASCM. While information from the Defense
Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) indicates the applicant
deployed to from through , and his enlisted performance
report for the period indicates he deployed in support of
Operation ALLIED FORCE, because this award was authorized for
this operation from 24 Mar 99 through 10 Jun 99, only 16 days of
the deployment fell within the qualifying period of the award.
Therefore, he does not meet the criteria for the award. To
grant relief would be contrary to the criteria established by
DoDM 1348.33, Secretary of the Air Force, Chief of Staff, and/or
the War Department.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSID evaluation is at Exhibit C
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 28 Jul 14 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by
this office.
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by
existing law or regulations.
2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice warranting
correction of the applicants records to reflect his entitlement
to the ASCM. We took notice of the applicant's complete
submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree
with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of
primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for
our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error
or injustice. Therefore, in view of the above, we find no basis
to recommend granting the relief sought in this application.
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material 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.
