The U.S. Army Human Resources Command has withheld records it believes "could be reasonably expected to or would result in a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy". I believe this to be false and inaccurate as the Army has published the bio publicly.

The U.S. Army Human Resources Command has withheld records claiming exemption per "10 U.S.C. § 130c, to protect sensitive information of foreign governments and international sources and methods and 50 U.S.C. § 3024(i), to protect intelligence sources and methods". I believe this to be false and inaccurate. The Official Military Personnel File including award citations do not and should not contain any classified information nor sensitive intelligence information which would be a violation of Executive Order 13526. I believe withholding the requested records is unwarranted.
Subjects background and military experience are a matter of public concern. The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for any commercial purposes.
