8. Paragraph 2-4 of Army Regulation 635-5 also indicates that Item 18 (Remarks) of the DD Form 214 should contain the following entry when a Soldier is ordered to active duty and deployed to a foreign country:

2. The available evidence shows the applicant was ordered to active duty in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and he was deployed to Iraq from
27 March 2006 to 10 July 2007; he received IDP during this same period. The applicant is entitled to correction of his DD Form 214 to show this service.
3. The applicants period of foreign service from 27 March 2006 to 10 July 2007 equals 1 year, 3 months and 15 days. Therefore, item 12f is correctly annotated on his DD Form 214.
