3.  Item 14 (Military Education) of this DD Form 214 does not show the requested courses.

5.  Permanent Orders 105-1, dated 15 April 2010, awarded the applicant the Master Parachutist Badge for meeting the requirements on 10 April 2010.

6.  There is no evidence of record and the applicant did not provide any evidence that shows he completed the DOD Defense Support Operations to Civil Authorities Course.

7.  Army Regulation 635-5 (Separation Documents) prescribes the separation documents prepared for Soldiers upon retirement, discharge, or release from 
active military service or control of the Army.  It establishes standardized policy for the preparation of the DD Form 214.  It states for:

* item 13, list awards and decorations for all periods of service in the priority sequence specified in Army Regulation 600-8-22 (Military Awards)
* item 14, list formal in-service (full-time attendance) training courses of at 40 hours successfully completed (include title, length in weeks, and month and year completed) – this information is to assist the Soldier in job placement and counseling; therefore, do not list training courses for combat skills

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:

1.  Permanent orders awarded the applicant the Master Parachutist Badge.  Therefore, his DD Form 214 for the period ending 30 November 2010 should be corrected to show this award.

2.  The evidence shows he completed the 3-week Basic Instructor Training Course in January 1992, the 1-week Dynamics of International Terrorism Course in December 2001, and the 1-week Joint Civil-Military Operations Campaign Planning Workshop in March 2009.  Therefore, item 14 of his DD Form 214 for the period ending 30 November 2010 should be corrected to show these training courses.

3.  The evidence of record shows he completed the 16-hour Training Assistance Program Course in February 2009 and the 8-hour DOD Defense Support of Civil Authorities Course (Phase I) on 20 July 2009.  However, the governing regulation states training courses successfully completed by course title, length in weeks, and year and month completed would be listed in item 14 of the DD Form 214.  Therefore, there is no basis for adding these training courses to his DD Form 214.

4.  Since the duration of the Joint Civil-Military Operations Instruction Course; Military Support in Foreign Disaster Response Orientation; Civilian Management Orientation; Pandemic Influenza Awareness Training; SERE 100 Code of Conduct Training Course; National Security Personnel System Course; United Nations Demining in the Aftermath of War Course; United Nations Principles for the Conduct of Peace Support Operations; and the United Nations Observer, Methods and Procedures Course are unknown, there is an insufficient evidentiary basis for adding these training courses to the applicant's DD Form 214.

5.  There is no evidence of record and the applicant did not provide any evidence that shows he completed the DOD Defense Support Operations to Civil Authorities Course.  Therefore, there is insufficient evidentiary basis for adding this training course to his DD Form 214.
