Administrative details
Select branch, award type, member rank and name, duty position, and time period. Choose component vs joint routing when applicable.
- Use facts you can verify—dates, ranks, and positions must match official records.
- Command-specific guidance can be attached under Settings if your unit uploaded policies.

Award narrative
Enter achievement context and story beats. The AI organizes your facts; it does not invent events or metrics.
- Quantify impact where possible (percentages, timelines, scope).
- Leave gaps empty rather than guessing—the wizard may flag missing context.
