Mills was in the U.S. Army from 1999-2003. According to his Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) and his DD214 (army discharge papers) Mills was NOT engaged in combat. Mills' Official Military Personnel File shows him as an ambulance aide/driver at Fort Bragg. His DD214 shows that his final specialty and time in that specialty was: 91W Healthcare Specialist: 0 Years, 0 Months
The 91W MOS required additional training and the maintenance of civilian EMT certification
Successful EMT course completion became grad requirement for courses during 2000
Mills’ Official Military Personnel File shows no record of him attending Fort Sam Houston for these trainings.
His DD214 shows: 0 years, 0 months as 91W Healthcare Specialist. His OMPF showed his last MOS as 91B.
Ambulance aides/drivers and medics do not engage in combat unless directly fired upon.
There is no record of SPECIAL FORCES or RECON SCOUT training on Mills’ OMPF or DD214.
There is no record of Mills doing the SOCM Course, attending Army sniper school, or being in the 75th Ranger Regiment as his DynCorp Bio/Application claimed.

Cory Mills went to Kosovo with the 1-325 in 2001 on a peace-keeping mission after the war and combat were over. The Kosovo War was over when Mills entered the army; the combat was over June 11, 1999.

As of April 23, 2024, 5 of Mills' awards were redacted while the army conducts an official investigation into his records. See the documentation here. Many of Mill's medals were "participation medals" that everyone in the unit received, whether they saw combat or not.
