Incorporated herein by reference are military records which were summarized in the previous consideration of the applicant's case by the Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR) in Docket Number AR20100013565 on 28 October 2010.

BOARD DATE: 13 September 2011 DOCKET NUMBER: AR20110004947 THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE: 1. The applicant requests award of the Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB) and correction of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to show this award. While it appears the applicant did not file within the time frame provided in the statute of limitations, the ABCMR has elected to conduct a substantive review of this case and, only to the extent relief, if...

His DD Form 214 shows his last duty assignment as Company C, 2nd Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment. The evidence of record shows he served in the Southwest Asia from 27 August 1990 to 24 March 1991. _______ _ x _______ ___ CHAIRPERSON I certify that herein is recorded the true and complete record of the proceedings of the Army Board for Correction of Military Records in this case.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2010 | 20100024738
He was honorably released from active duty on 15 July 1991 to the control of his ARNG unit. With respect to his service in Korea, the evidence of record shows the applicant served in Korea as a rifleman to Company A, 2nd Battalion, 8th Cavalry from 22 May 1964 to 25 June 1965. Therefore, there is insufficient evidence to support awarding him the CIB for this period of service.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2011 | 20110008101
He also states that upon completion of his active duty service he was awarded the ARCOM and the DA Form 638-1 (Recommendation for Award) documenting this award also shows he had been previously awarded the CIB. There are no orders or other documents in the applicants NPRC file that show he was ever recommended for or awarded the ARCOM or the CIB by proper authority while serving on active duty. He provides extract from another applicant's ABCMR Record of Proceedings which shows, in part,...
ARMY | BCMR | CY2010 | 20100019849
The applicant requests that his award of the Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB) be added to his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty). The applicant states he was awarded the CIB in May 1991; however, it was not included on his DD Form 214 at the time of his release from active duty (REFRAD). Therefore, the Board determined the overall merits of this case are insufficient as a basis for correction of the records of the individual concerned.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2012 | 20120008340
The applicant requests reconsideration of his earlier request for correction of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to show the Combat Infantryman Badge, Southwest Asia Service Medal, and Kuwait Liberation Medal.

c. The Korea Defense Service Medal is authorized for award to members of the Armed Forces of the United States who have served on active duty in support of the defense of the Republic of Korea. Therefore, he is authorized the Korea Defense Service Medal and correction of his DD Form 214 to show this award. Based on his service in SWA from 29 December 1990 to 13 June 1991, he is authorized the KLM-SA and the KLM-K and correction of his DD Form 214 to show these awards.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2012 | 20120001597
The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to show award of the Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB) and his initial date of entry in the military. The applicant's request to correct his DD Form 214 to show the CIB and his correct date of entry was carefully considered. His DD Form 214 shows that he entered active duty on 17 July 1973.
ARMY | BCMR | CY2011 | 20110014518
The applicant requests correction of his DD Form 214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) to show award of the Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB) and any other medals and decorations that may have been given for Operation Desert Storm. The applicant provides no evidence. In the absence of evidence that the applicant actively participated in combat while assigned to an infantry unit, there is insufficient evidence upon which to base award of the CIB in this case.
