What does MSH mean in MILITARY

MSH is essential for verifying a person's military service and for determining their eligibility for benefits and other services. It is also used to support historical research and to preserve the legacy of service members.

You can request your MSH from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The process typically involves submitting a completed Standard Form 180 (Request Pertaining to Military Records) and paying a fee.

MSHs typically include information such as:

• Name, rank, and service number
• Dates of service
• Assignments and duty stations
• Promotions and awards
• Disciplinary actions (if applicable)

Yes, you can share your MSH with others, but it is important to note that it contains sensitive information. You should only share it with individuals who have a legitimate need to know.

If you believe there are errors in your MSH, you can contact the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) to request a correction. You will need to provide documentation to support your request.

If your MSH is lost or destroyed, you can request a replacement from NARA. You will need to submit a completed Standard Form 180 and provide proof of your identity.
