Discharge documentation includes:
DD-214:
- A DD214 is a separation from Active Duty.
- Reservists and National Guardsmen/women will may have received a DD214 other than the initial training only if they have been activated into an active-duty status, usually under Title 10 orders.
NG(B)-22:
- National Guardsmen/women receive another form of final discharge. Many of them, have one or several DD214’s however, it is not their final discharge – this takes the form of the NG/22.
NG(B)-55:
- NGB Form 55 is issued to Soldiers concurrently discharged from the ARNG and as a Reserve of the Army with honor. This includes any request of the Family if a Soldier dies while in the ARNG.
DD256:
- Traditional Reservists – those that served their entire contract without an activation, will not have received a DD214 except for the one they received at the completion of their initial military training (boot camp, basic training, job school). In the absence of a federal activation, the only discharge paperwork these troops will receive is a DD256 – Honorable Discharge Certificate. Unlike a DD214 or an NGB22, the DD256 does not elaborate on any aspect of military service, it is merely a statement of honorable service. Another key difference between the DD256 & the DD214/NGB22, is that it is only issued after the completion of the entire service contract.
