214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge).

CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:

United States who have served on active duty in support of the defense of
the Republic of Korea. The area of eligibility and period of eligibility
are: (1) the area of eligibility encompasses all land area of the Republic
of Korea and the contiguous water out to 12 nautical miles; and (2) all air
spaces above the land and water area. The period of eligibility is 28 July

consecutive or 60 nonconsecutive days. Designated U. S. military
operations, areas, and dates include service in Korea from 1 October 1966
