DD-214 Form Military Discharge
The DD-214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) is one of the most important documents for U.S. military veterans. It serves as official proof of service and includes key details like:
- Dates of Service
- Rank & Military Occupation
- Awards & Medals
- Reason for Separation
A Report of Separation is generally issued when a service member performs active duty or at least 90 consecutive days of active duty training. The Report of Separation contains information normally needed to verify military service for benefits, retirement, employment and membership in veterans’ organizations.
