How do I get a DD 214 for a National Guard mobilization for hurricane relief?

How can I request a DD214 be created? I have a DD214 from previous active duty, but then I joined the Guard and somehow got out without a major deployment. I spent about 2 weeks in the Houston area though for hurricane duty and I remember hearing we were under Title 10 orders. This would qualify for a DD214, but one was never created. Is there a way to request this to be created? Maybe with a DD 149 Application for Correction of Military Records?

I'm confused. The only way to "create" a DD214 is to separate from the military.

I'm confused as well. A DD-214 has nothing to do with deployments. You either separate from military service or you don't. If you are still currently in, then you won't get a DD-214 until you get out.

You do not get a DD214 from the Guard, you get an NGB22. When you are activated with the Guard, they can be Title 10 (active duty orders) or title 32 (NGB Orders). I am guessing that you were on title 32 orders. Even if you were on Title 10 Orders, you still report to the Guard. The only time you get a DD214 while serving in the Guard is from Initial Entry Training or you are relased from Active Duty from a deployment.

What do you need a DD214 for is the better question.

You can fill out form (AGTX Form 74) and send it to the Adjutant Generals office in the Austin area. It usually takes a couple of weeks for them to get back to you. Your chain of command may also have a copy of it as well. Talk to your Readiness NCO. You were most likely on Title 10 orders so you all could receive FEMA pay. Just an assumption, they did the same thing for Katrina.

First, I just have to say thanks to everyone for your responses. I just noticed this site today and put this out there thinking I might get a few nibbles in a week or two, but within a few hours there were experts lending opinions. Hooah.

Since the mobilization was under 30 days, the Texas National Guard doesnt typically issue a DD214. An AGTX Form 74 would only request what was already issued, and Ive already checked and confrmed that one was not issued. The question is whether or not it "could" be issued because national disaster response under Presidential orders would be considered active duty. Then, release from this active duty should be documented on a DD214. It seems trivial to have a few weeks on a DD214, but that is a very powerful document.

If my recollection serves me right, you’d need an NGB22 for Your Guard service. Active Duty periods over 30 days will result in a 214.
