I only have 2 overseas service ribbons, and was wondering is that number correct? From reading the regulation, I think I should have 5 reflected on my ERB.

I was also credited with an overseas tour when I redeployed to my home station. Am I authorized the ICM and the OSR?<br /><br />A1: Yes, A Soldier who receives another campaign/service medal for participating in a designated operation may still receive the OSR if they receive overseas tour credit.<br /><br />Q2: I had just noticed the policy change to the OSR criteria which prohibited the OSR from being awarded if another campaign/service medal was given. Was this rescinded?<br /><br />A2: Yes, since the policy was eliminated, Soldiers who have received overseas tour credit for past deployments may now have their records updated with the OSR.<br /><br />Q3: How long do I have to serve in Iraq or Afghanistan to be awarded the OSR?<br /><br />A3: IAW AR 614-30, Soldiers who serve a minimum of 11 cumulative months (within a 24 month period) or 9 continuous months in a TCS/TDY status may receive overseas tour credit for a completed short tour.<br /><br />Q4: I deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan from an OCONUS duty station. Am I authorized the OSR for my OCONUS tour and for my tour in Iraq or Afghanistan?<br /><br />A4: Yes, when a Soldier is serving OCONUS on a prescribed tour and is deployed OCONUS on TDY/TCS status. The original prescribed tour is not interrupted and the Soldier may receive credit for two tours provided he/she is awarded tour completion credit for both tours. 1SG Private RallyPoint Member Sun, 10 Feb 2019 19:22:11 -0500 2019-02-10T19:22:11-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/how-do-i-determine-how-many-army-overseas-ribbons-i-should-have?n=4357295&urlhash=4357295 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The OSR regs is confusing in general with all sorts of conflicting interpretations. You should check your ERB, Section 1?, to see how many months have been calculated and discuss that with S1. There is also issues with what is considered a short tour for Iraq/Afghan and if you have to complete a full tour to get credit for German/Korea. Only your S1 can explain this.
