2. The applicant requests that the award of the Legion of Merit and the Superior Unit Award be reflected on his DD Form 214.
3. The applicant states that both were awarded after his DD Form 214 was completed. He encloses a copy of the order awarding him the Legion of Merit, and states that he has tried in vain to obtain a copy of the order awarding the 2nd Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group (A) the Superior Unit Award during the time of his assignment.
4. The applicant’s military records show that he was retired with a permanent disability on 11 March 2001 with over 21 years of military service. His DD Form 214 does not reflect award of the Legion of Merit or the Superior Unit Award.
5. Permanent order 092-20, dated 2 April 2001, published by the Army Combined Arms Center and Fort Leavenworth, awarded the applicant the Legion of Merit for meritorious service from 12 March 1991 to 12 March 2001. The order was published after his retirement.
6. A copy of a page from a qualification record that the applicant submits with his request shows that he was assigned to A Company, 2nd Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group (A) at Fort Carson, Colorado from 2 November 1994 to 7 July 1997.
7. Information obtained from the Awards Branch, Total Army Personnel Command on 3 April 2002, revealed that the applicant’s former unit, Company A, 2nd Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group, was awarded the Superior Unit Award, but for the period 20 May 1994 to 3 June 1994, prior to the applicant’s assignment to that unit.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The applicant was awarded the Legion of Merit. That award should be reflected on his DD Form 214.
2. The applicant was not assigned to Company A, 2nd Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group during the period when that unit was awarded the Superior Unit Award. Therefore, he is not entitled to that award.
3. In view of the foregoing, the applicant’s records should be corrected as recommended below.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. That all of the Department of the Army records related to this case be corrected by showing that the individual concerned was awarded the Legion of Merit.
2. That so much of the application as is in excess of the foregoing be denied.
