3. The applicant provides copies of General Orders Number 2013-85, Department of the Army, dated 12 November 2013.
CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE:

a. A DA Form 67-9 (Officer Evaluation Report) for the rated period from 22 February 2007 to 21 February 2008, showing the applicant was assigned to the 115th BSB, 1st BCT, 1st Cavalry Division.
b. General Orders Number 2013-85, Department of the Army, dated 12 November 2013, which amended the MUC as described in the applicants statement.

a. All personnel information recorded under the authority of this regulation is the property of the U.S. Government. Once recorded, it will not be removed except as provided by law or this regulation.
b. Once placed in the OMPF, the document becomes a permanent part of that file. The document will not be removed from the OMPF unless directed by one or more of several listed agencies, including this Board.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
The available evidence clearly shows the applicant was assigned to a unit different from that shown in the subject general orders at the time in question. Therefore, it would be appropriate to remove the general orders in question from his OMPF.
