What is the meaning of the DD-214 discharge code "JEA"?

My medical separation code on my DD-214 is listed as JEA, Combat-Related (Enhanced). I can't find this code on any lists, and was wondering what it meant exactly?

Daniel, I don't know if I should even Hazard a guess at this: Enhanced by Combat; and, Related to Combat? I pray you can find your answer. My DD-214 does not include this. SGT Daniel Rocco Ames

Really?
Really???
You really couldn't put SPD JEA into a Google search bar and find it in the excel spreadsheet that pops up in the first result like I did out of curiosity?

ALARACT (All Army Activities) Message 147/2008.
SPD Code of JEA is appropriate when the narrative reason for discharge is disability, severance pay, combat related (enhanced), and the authority is Army Regulation 635-40, chapter 4.
Same message also directed SPD Codes of JFI and JFO would replace the SPD Codes of JFL and JEA. The SPD Code of JEB would also replace the SPD Code of JEL.
