MEMORANDUM OF CONSIDERATION


         IN THE CASE OF:
        


         BOARD DATE: 13 August 2002
         DOCKET NUMBER: AR2002074851

         I certify that hereinafter is recorded the record of consideration of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in the case of the above-named individual.

Mr. Carl W. S. Chun Director
Ms. Nancy L. Amos Analyst


The following members, a quorum, were present:

Mr. Fred N. Eichorn Chairperson
Mr. Ted S. Kanamine Member
Ms. Lana E. McGlynn Member

         The Board, established pursuant to authority contained in 10 U.S.C. 1552, convened at the call of the Chairperson on the above date. In accordance with Army Regulation 15-185, the application and the available military records pertinent to the corrective action requested were reviewed to determine whether to authorize a formal hearing, recommend that the records be corrected without a formal hearing, or to deny the application without a formal hearing if it is determined that insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice.

         The applicant requests correction of military records as stated in the application to the Board and as restated herein.

         The Board considered the following evidence:

         Exhibit A - Application for correction of military
records
         Exhibit B - Military Personnel Records (including
advisory opinion, if any)


APPLICANT REQUESTS: That an Article 15 dated 31 August 1998 be removed from his U. S. Army Criminal Investigation Command (USACIDC) files.

APPLICANT STATES: That the intended purpose of the Article 15 has been served. It was issued to him after being arrested for assault. He had attempted to restrain a person he believed to have stolen something. He accepted the Article 15 and received extremely light punishment. It is not contained in his Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) but is inexplicably being maintained in USACIDC files and is adversely affecting his career advancement. He has since been promoted and received several awards and decorations. Supporting evidence is as listed on the DD Form 149.

EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:

He enlisted in the Regular Army in 1988. He was promoted to Sergeant, E-5 on 1 January 1994.

There is no record of nonjudicial punishment under Article 15, Uniform Code of Military Justice filed on the applicant’s OMPF.

The applicant submitted a request to USACIDC requesting a Military Police Report (MPR) pertaining to him. By letter dated 5 December 2001, USACIDC provided him that MPR. (Although the applicant indicated on his DD Form 149 that it was provided as evidence, the Board obtained both the letter and the MPR from USACIDC). The MPR does not contain an Article 15 but a Commander’s Report of Disciplinary or Administrative Action, DA Form 4833, is filed with the MPR. The DA Form 4833 indicates the applicant was given an Article 15 for the offense of assault committed on 10 July 1998. His punishment was 14 days extra duty and 14 days restriction.

The applicant was promoted to Staff Sergeant, E-6 on 6 January 2000.

Army Regulation 190-45, Law Enforcement Reporting, paragraph 3-2, states that criminal record information contained within military police documents will not be disseminated unless there is a clearly demonstrated need. Paragraph 4-2 states that the MPR, DA Form 3975, is a multipurpose form used, among other reasons, to serve as a record of all military police and military police investigator activity. The original is maintained at the U. S. Army Crime Records Center (a subordinate organization of USACIDC). Paragraph 4-8 states that the DA Form 4833 is used with the DA Form 3975 to record action taken against offenders. It is initiated by the installation provost marshal and completed by the unit commander. It is filed with the DA Form 3975.

DISCUSSION: Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, it is concluded:

1. In order to justify correction of a military record the applicant must show to the satisfaction of the Board, or it must otherwise satisfactorily appear, that the record is in error or unjust. The applicant has failed to submit evidence that would satisfy this requirement.

2. There does not appear to be any Article 15 pertaining to the applicant filed in
USACIDC files. A DA Form 4833, which indicates the applicant received an Article 15, is filed with the MPR relevant to the assault charge. The Board acknowledges that it appears the assault charge was not considered to be a serious matter by his chain of command; however, the DA Form 4833 is properly filed. The applicant provides no evidence that the DA Form 4833 is being used improperly to adversely affect his career advancement.

3. In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request.

DETERMINATION: The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.
