1. It appears that the Army Review Boards Agency, Support Division, St. Louis Permanent Orders Number 103-02, dated 13 April 2005, erroneously revoked General Orders 133, dated 11 December 1974. The recommendation in ABCMR Docket Number AR20040003688, dated 17 February 2005, only meant to make a minor correction to one portion of the orders.
2. To correct the applicants third award of the Bronze Star Medal with the minimum of confusion, it would be best to revoke Permanent Orders Number 103-02, dated 13 April 2005; to revoke that portion of General Orders 133, dated 11 December 1974, which pertains only to amendment of Section I, General Orders Number 89, dated 4 April 1972, as it pertains to the applicant; and revoke Headquarters, United States Army Forces, Military Region 2, General Orders Number 89, dated 4 April 1972, only as it pertains to the applicant.
3. New orders should then be issued to show the applicant was awarded the Bronze Star Medal (Second Oak Leaf Cluster) for the period November 1971 to March 1972.
