Request for Military Awards and Decorations Review
A Request for Military Awards and Decorations Review is a document used by current or former service members to seek a review of their eligibility for military awards or decorations. Key features include:
1. Personal and service information of the applicant
2. Specific award or decoration being requested
3. Detailed account of the actions or service meriting the award
4. Supporting documentation (e.g., witness statements, after-action reports)
5. Explanation of why the award was not previously issued or recognized
This request allows service members or veterans to formally apply for a review of their service record to determine if they are eligible for awards or decorations that may have been overlooked or not properly processed during their time of service. It provides a means to ensure that all deserved recognition for military service and actions is properly awarded, even if it was initially missed or delayed.
