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?

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.

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.

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.

The Guard is a little confusing, any time you deactive from Title-10 orders you essentially leave Active duty and become a state asset again. I've signed three DD-214's throughout my TIS.

It can be a little confusing. The thing to track is that technically, a DD-214 is for separation from ACTIVE DUTY service. For AC service members, that generally means once when you leave the service due to ETS or retirement.
In the Guard & Reserves, this will usually be the case following a mobilization, when you return to reserve status. I've got 3 DD-214's with 29 years (counting 2 as an SMP) of unbroken reserve component service.
