- 1999-2003: Military Days - Stolen Valor | Congress Watchdog FL
According to his DD214, Cory Mills had no foreign service while in the US Army. Mills' 5-6 years overseas were not in service of the United States Army; he worked for DYN Corporation, one of the worst military contractors in the history of the United States, and Pax Mondial LTD, a foreign company that ultimately defrauded the U.S. government. Visit Congress Watchdog LLC to learn more. 1999-2003: Military Days - A Case of Stolen Valor How Cory Mills Describes His Military Service: "Decorated U.S. Combat Veteran" "US Army 75th Ranger Regiment" “Hunted down terrorists to keep our shores and freedoms safe” “Forged through combat in both Afghanistan and Iraq” “Served honorably and fought for our nation in Afghanistan and Iraq” “Fought terrorism most of his life” “I have seen and felt the cost of war.” “Served in the Kosovo Campaign in 2000” “Served 7 years in Iraq and nearly 2 years in Afghanistan” “Served 7 years in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, and Pakistan” “7 years in Iraq, almost 3 yrs Afghanistan, and was blown up twice” “I fought in the f-in wars. I don't want to fight any more f-in wars.” “Spent 7 years in Iraq, 2 yrs in Afghanistan, Kosovo, Pakistan, Somalia, Ukraine. Please let me know how much service you have given in uniform?” "Wounded twice while deployed" "Blown up twice in 2006" "Served as a Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) operating on a long range reconnaissance and surveillance scout recon team in Operations Joint Guardian as part of Task Force Falcon (Kosovo) in 2000, and Operation Iraqi Freedom (Iraq) 2003 as attachment member of Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC)" These are his own words from tweets, campaign materials, and recorded interviews. THE TRUTH ABOUT MILLS' MILITARY & OVERSEAS HISTORY The great majority of Mills' time overseas was not spent fighting terrorists or deployed with the Army as he claims. Mills lumps his time and service as a contractor doing USAID projects, working for a foreign NGO on an Australian aid project for Pakistan, and military service together, claiming he has been fighting terrorism for most of his life. Mills is committing Stolen Valor. Green Beret Chronicles Podcast: 1000$ GUaRANTEED if you can prove Congressman MILLs isn’t full of SH!T Mills was in the U.S. Army from 1999-2003. According to his Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) and his DD214 (army discharge papers) Mills was NOT engaged in combat . Mills' Official Military Personnel File shows him as an ambulance aide/driver at Fort Bragg. His DD214 shows that his final specialty and time in that specialty was: 91W Healthcare Specialist: 0 Years, 0 Months The 91W MOS required additional training and the maintenance of civilian EMT certification Successful EMT course completion became grad requirement for courses during 2000 Mills’ Official Military Personnel File shows no record of him attending Fort Sam Houston for these trainings. His DD214 shows: 0 years, 0 months as 91W Healthcare Specialist. His OMPF showed his last MOS as 91B. Ambulance aides/drivers and medics do not engage in combat unless directly fired upon. There is no record of SPECIAL FORCES or RECON SCOUT training on Mills’ OMPF or DD214. There is no record of Mills doing the SOCM Course, attending Army sniper school, or being in the 75th Ranger Regiment as his DynCorp Bio/Application claimed. Cory Mills went to Kosovo with the 1-325 in 2001 on a peace-keeping mission after the war and combat were over. The Kosovo War was over when Mills entered the army; the combat was over June 11, 1999. As of April 23, 2024, 5 of Mills' awards were redacted while the army conducts an official investigation into his records. See the documentation here . Many of Mill's medals were "participation medals" that everyone in the unit received, whether they saw combat or not. Mills has removed "Bronze Star" from several of his online bios, as well as removed some of his military claims. See the changes on his official gov site: August 2023 vs June 2024. Mills recently provided a Recommendation for Bronze Star which was submitted between April 2021 and July 2024; we are awaiting the un-redacted version. Why are awards being put in for Mills 20+ years after the fact for alleged actions that don’t match up with the accounts of multiple people involved as well as real time accounts documented in articles from 2003-2004? See below for details related to this recommendation. Regarding the incidents in 2006 when Mills claims he was blown up twice / wounded while deployed: Mills left the army in 2003, then went on to work for contractors and a foreign NGO. If Mills was truly a wounded combat veteran while on active duty, there would be a Purple Heart shown in his military records. Per the State Department Official Records: "March 15, 2006 – Baghdad, Iraq: A U.S. Embassy motorcade was attacked by a roadside bomb, disabling one vehicle but causing no injuries. " Multiple of Mills' DYN Corp colleagues and superiors confirm this. "April 19, 2006 - Baghdad, Iraq: Unknown individuals attacked a U.S. Embassy motorcade with an explosive device and small arms fire, injuring two U.S. Army personnel and two security contractors." Several of Mills' DynCorp colleagues and superiors say Mills was not in the vehicle that was hit. Mills bandaged the injured contractor S. Kimkins after the incident. Mills claimed he was a member of JSOC Task Force 20 with the 82nd Airborne - this is false. The JSOC event was between the 2nd battalion of the 325 (2-325) and the range battalion (special ops unit); TF 20 is Delta Force. Mills was not a part of Delta Force Mills was not a part of the 2nd battalion (he was in the 1-325) Mills' claim is not reflected in his Official Military Personnel File or his DD214 From 2005-2009 Mills worked for DynCorp. Multiple unnamed sources, including higher ups at DynCorp who were in Iraq and at the same compounds at the same time as Mills, have come forward stating that Mills was not blown up as he claims , and that Mills was told to provide his DD214 or get out; his employment was ultimately terminated for failure to product requested records. On his DynCorp bio/application (which was submitted to the state department), Mills: Falsely claimed that he served in the US Army 75th Ranger Regiment Falsely claimed that he attended US Army Sniper School Falsely claimed that he went through many other trainings that are not reflected on his OMPF or DD214, some prior to him even entering the army Recommendation Mills shared a few documents in rebuttal of the questions being asked about his military service, including: July 22, 2024 Alleged Recommendation for Award (document above): A reporter was given a picture of one page of a marked up recommendation for a Bronze Medal. An official request has been made for a non-redacted and complete version of this recommendation if it exists. An FOIA request into Mills' awards was also made. Things to note about the recommendation: The date is covered up; based on the form version being April 2021, this was filled out sometime in the past few months -- 20+ years after Mills left the army. Why are awards being put in for Mills 20+ years after the fact for alleged actions that don’t match up with the accounts of multiple people involved as well as real time accounts documented in articles from 03-04? The back page with all of the signatures was not provided. This recommendation form is not proof that Mills received the Bronze Star. If he was really awarded a Bronze Star 20 years ago, why did he never provide the citation for it? Cory Mills was an Ambulance Aide/Driver for the 1-325 HHC. Ambulance drivers/aides and medics do not engage in combat unless fired upon. Per the recent article written by Mark Harper in the Daytona Beach News-Journal, Retired General Confirms: “To be clear, I am not validating any of the specifics.” Achievement #2 on the alleged Bronze Star recommendation is refuted by multiple members of the 1-325. News articles from the time also detail the events of that incident. The Washington Post article The Wounds of War by Monte Reel describes Alan Babin of the 1-325 2nd brigade as being the 3rd platoon’s only medic. This is confirmed by multiple platoon members. Lt. Powell assisted. Fort Worth Star-Telegram article Alan’s Angels describes Staff Sgt. Jesse Walker as running to Alan, starting an IV, dressing his wounds, and administering drugs to stop the bleeding. This too is confirmed by multiple platoon members, as was 1-325 2nd Brigade Weapon’s Squad Leader August Berndt’s involvement. This article also mentions Sgt. Steven Dukes being near Alan Babin following the incident. Multiple members of the 1-325 describe Alan Babin being taken to the aid station where he was treated by medics from the 2-325 White Falcons. Henry “Hank” Barbe of the 3-325 arrived on a Blackhawk and took over Babin’s care until they reached Talil Air Base 25 miles away. Mills is not mentioned in any articles published at the time. Those involved say "Mills was not at the point of injury" and "did not run through fire;" Walker and Berndt treated Babin on scene. Berndt treated Heit on scene. Summary of incident as shared by multiple members of the 1-325: Pfc. Joe Heit was near Sgt. Augest Berndt when he was shot. After the gunfire stopped, Berndt rolled Heit over and yelled “doc.” Pfc. Alan Babin got up, started towards Heit, then turned around and ran back to grab his aid bag. As he turned to grab his bag, Babin was shot. Berndt treated Heit with a Barton's bandage then ran to where Babin was. Staff Sgt. Jesse Walker had arrived moments earlier, so Berndt assisted Walker in the treatment of Babin. They called for evac, once the humvey arrived Walker and Berndt helped Babin into the vehicle. Babin was then treated by 2-325 Aid Station until Hank Barbe arrived via helicopter carrying medics who were stationed at an air base a 25-minute flight away. Sgt. 1st Class Chris Painter (Platoon Sergeant) 1-325 Aco 3rd Platoon Sgt. Augest Berndt: 1-325 Aco 3rd Platoon, Weapons Squad Leader Staff Sgt. Jesse Walker: 1-325 Aco, 3rd Platoon, Team Leader Pfc. Alan Babin: 1-325 HHC, Only Medic Attached to Aco 3rd Platoon Pfc. Joe Heit: 1-325 Aco, 3rd Platoon Aid Station: 2-325 HHC If Babin was the only medic attached to the 3rd platoon and Heit was the CLS, Walker treated Babin in the field, the 2-325 treated Babin at the aid station, and Barbe and the 3-325 medics treated him on the Blackhawk, where does Mills’ version of events fit in? Out of the 4 involved that we have interviewed so far, 3 don’t remember Mills at all, and one vaguely remembers him but not from saving the lives of Babin and Heit. This is an unfolding story as we await an FOIA request for the unredacted and complete DA Form 638 (Apr 2021 version) that Mills gave to the media. Mills also shared the following documents: July 11, 2024 Memo: This is not a standard document for Army medals - citations and permanent orders with verifiable dates and records are. A warrant officer was contacted to put this memo together. The reason that it was done is currently being investigated by the Army. A Certificate of Appreciation signed by Zalmay Khalilizad dated April 19, 2006. Mills was no longer in the army at this time, he was working for DYN Corp. Multiple higher ups at DYN Corp have informed us that roughly 30 people received this certificate. Additionally, Zalmary was the negotiator involved in handing Afghanistan over to the Taliban. Scroll up to see details about the incidents. NATO Medal for Service with NATO on Operations in Relation to Kosovo During the Period 20 January 2001 to 11 June 2001. The Kosovo War was over when Mills joined the army; combat was over June 11, 1999. The 82nd Airborne was sent to Kosovo for a peace-keeping mission from January-June 2001. A Permanent Order for Combat Medical Badge, largely redacted. There is no date on the order. We have made an official request for a non-redacted version of this order and are awaiting a response. Mills has yet to produce any official military records that match his claims of fighting in wars, fighting terrorism for most of his life , fighting for our nation in Iraq and Afghanistan , and many of his other claims. Mills' military records were obtained through the Freedom of Information Act. Mills' DD214 and OMPF contradict his claims.

His DD214 shows that his final specialty and time in that specialty was: 91W Healthcare Specialist: 0 Years, 0 Months.

Many of Mills’ medals are “participation medals” - i.e., they were for being in the military and/or for being part of a unit who saw combat even though he himself did not engage in combat. The Department of the Army HRC and associated offices have noted that there is inaccurate information concerning Mills' awards; as of April 23, 2024, they were conducting an investigation to resolve this issue. One of the photos Mills used on his campaign literature was an Army archive picture; no one in the photo knows Mills and Mills WAS NOT in the Battalion shown in the picture.

- Learn How to Vet a Candidate | Congress Watchdog FL
According to GovTrack.US, there have been 491 instances of alleged and actual misconduct by legislators in the United States Congress from 1789 to the present. It's more important than ever to know who we're voting for. Learn how to vet a candidate, or hire us for our investigative services. Learn How to Vet a Candidate GovTrack: Legislator Misconduct 1790-2020 According to GovTrack.US, there have been 491 instances of alleged and actual misconduct by legislators in the United States Congress from 1789 to the present. "The act of voting is one opportunity for us to remember that our whole way of life is predicated on the capacity of ordinary people to judge carefully and well.” Our due diligence isn't always enough. When it comes to something as important as the candidates that represent us, we owe it to ourselves, our child, our communities to do a deep dive. Understanding the character, values, and policies of the candidates we vote for is essential for a thriving democracy. But with censored social media platforms, biased search engines, and smooth talking politicians, how does the average citizen get the truth? Here are some suggestions to thoroughly vet political candidates and make an informed decision on election day. Assess the Candidate's Campaign Promises Campaign promises are a significant part of a candidate's strategy to win votes. However, it's vital to scrutinize these promises for their feasibility and alignment with your beliefs. Reflect on the candidate's ability and track record in fulfilling past promises. Is what they're promising attainable and does it resonate with your expectations? Dig into the Candidate's Past A thorough exploration of a candidate's past can be enlightening. Delve into their voting record, past political actions, career trajectory, and personal history. Look for any scandals or laudable accomplishments as these can provide a glimpse into their character and judgment. In your search, some helpful records to look into include: Residency Military Record State Business Records Financial History Criminal Record County Court Records Understand the Candidate's Policy Standpoints It's essential to comprehend the candidate's perspective on vital issues that impact you and your community such as healthcare, economy, education, and social justice. Investigate if their policy stances align with your personal beliefs and whether they prioritize the concerns that are crucial to you. Examine the Candidate's Leadership Skills A candidate's ability to lead is fundamental to their potential success in office. Pay attention to their past performance in positions of leadership. Have they demonstrated qualities such as the ability to motivate others, make challenging choices, or foster agreement among disparate groups? This can give insight into how they might lead in the role they're seeking. Evaluate the Candidate's Communication Skills Effective communication is crucial for a political candidate. This means being able to clearly express their views and intelligently respond to inquiries. Observe their performance in media interviews, public speeches, and debates. Their ability to communicate their thoughts and policies cogently can offer a sense of their potential as a leader. Consider the Candidate's Financial Transparency Reviewing a candidate's financial transparency is integral in understanding their character. Take a close look at their campaign contributions, disclosed tax returns, and any potential financial conflicts. Such data can reveal if the candidate has a public service focus or is more self-serving financially. Check the Candidate's Education and Qualifications The candidate's educational and professional qualifications can provide insight into their competence for the position. Review their academic achievements and professional background in both public and private sectors. However, don't rely solely on academic credentials or extensive work experience as indicators of a successful leader. Gauge the Candidate's Dedication to Public Service Assessing a candidate's commitment to public service can reveal their intentions to prioritize constituents' needs above personal or political ambitions. This can be reflected in their prior employment, volunteer efforts, and community engagement. Follow Media and Public Opinion While the media and public sentiment can provide valuable perspectives about a candidate, it's essential to approach these sources critically. Keep in mind that media outlets may harbor their own biases and the public can be influenced easily. Use this information as supplementary to your own research, but ultimately rely on your personal judgment and unbiased, factual evidence. Trust Your Intuition Ultimately, your personal instincts hold significant weight in your final decision. If a candidate gives you a sense of unease or doesn't sit right with you, even if you can't pinpoint the reason, it's essential to honor those feelings. Your intuition can serve as a powerful guide in navigating the election landscape. Need more in-depth information on a candidate? Contact us to learn more about our investigative services.

Campaign Debt Owes $368,743 to his campaign vendors In debt to his own campaign 1.8 million dollars from his so-called personal loans Waygar Capital Article - Cory Mills' Pacem Defense Liens (pages 8-13) Stolen Valor Mills falsely claimed to be a decorated combat veteran with 7 years of service in Iraq, 2-3 years of service in Afghanistan, Kosovo, and Pakistan who fought terrorism for most of his life. He lumps his time in the army in with his contractor time, and greatly exaggerates his service. Mills was in the U.S. Army from 1999-2003. According to his Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) and his DD214 (army discharge papers) Mills was NOT engaged in combat. Mills' Official Military Personnel File shows him as an ambulance aide/driver at Fort Bragg. His DD214 shows that his final specialty and time in that specialty was: 91W Healthcare Specialist: 0 Years, 0 Months. Ambulance aides/drivers and medics do not engage in combat unless directly fired upon. 5 of Mills' awards have been redacted while the army conducts an official investigation into his records. See the documentation here . Many of Mill's medals were "participation medals" that everyone in the unit receied, whether they saw combat or not. During his campaign, Mills claimed he was a Bronze Star recipient. If this was true, why were awards put in for Mills 20+ years after the fact for alleged actions that don’t match up with the accounts of multiple people involved as well as real time accounts documented in articles from 2003-2004? Note the recommendation was filled out on the April 2021 version of the form -- AFTER Mills had already started claiming he was a Bronze Star receipient. An FOIA request has been put in to obtain the un-redacted and complete document, including who signed off on the 2nd page and the date it was submitted.

Alleged Afghanistan & Israel "Rescues" September 2021 – Mills claimed he was part of a rescue mission to Afghanistan with F-16s flying over his head Mills never set foot in Afghanistan; the woman was an Afghanistani refugee who took her children back to Afghanistan on a 30-day vacation to see her family October 11, 2023 - Mills began bragging about his alleged Israeli Ground Rescues / Flight to Jordan Falsely claimed his rescue flight was the last flight out of Tel Aviv and that there were no commercial flights Falsely claimed the Israel “rescues” were FREE for passengers; the Stonepoint Church group had to pay over $39,000 for rescheduled and rerouted flights to be "rescued" by Mills Countless other church groups made it back from Israel with government assistance on commercial and charter flights before and after Mills’ "rescues" Mills solicited donations from his fake “Rescue Story” then voted against helping Israel fight terrorists Alleged Foreign Policy Expert His employment history does not back his claims. See an example of his "foreign policy predictions" in the Tucker Carlson interview from January 21, 2020. The Iraqis were in fact NOT standing up to the Iranian government; the Iranians were running convoys through Iraq to Lebanon Hezbollah. Currently the Iraqi government just passed a resolution to kick the Americans out of Iraq because of their attacks on the Iranian militias. Mills also stated that Iraqis were going to storm the streets by the millions, he guaranteed it; his predictions did not come true. FALSE STATEMENTS MADE & PUBLISHED FROM 2021-PRESENT I.

The rest of the soldiers got nothing even if they had a concussion or bumped their head, they weren’t “wounded.” Cory Mills was NOT in that vehicle, the vehicle he was in was already around the corner and down the street. Not blown up or wounded, period.” - Fellow Contractor S.K. See the official Department of State records for the incidents here . Alleged Bronze Star Recommendation In 2024, Cory sent a marked-up Bronze Star recommendation to reporter Mark Harper Key issues with the form and claims therein: Form (DA 638, Apr 2021) was filled out decades after Mills left the Army—and long after he claimed to already have the medal. Date covered; signature page missing → incomplete/unverifiable. Retired General Mills cited said: “To be clear, I am not validating any of the specifics.” If he’d received the award during service, an original citation should exist. Incident facts (2003, when Pfc. Alan Babin was wounded): Babin = only medic with platoon. Staff Sgt. Jesse Walker & Augest Berndt treated him at the scene. 2-325 medics cared for Babin post-evac. Henry “Hank” Barbe & 3-325 medics continued care in flight. Mills not named in contemporary reports or witness accounts. Eyewitnesses: 3 of 4 interviewed don’t recall Mills 1 vaguely recalls him, but not as lifesaver Bottom line: Until a full, un-redacted citation emerges, Mills’s alleged Bronze Star remains unsubstantiated.

Veterans dispute Cory Mills’ record: 'He fooled a lot of us' Abandoned His Fellow Contractors in Iraq Multiple team leaders and higher ups at DynCorp have come forward stating that Mills was told to provide his DD214 or get out; his employment was ultimately terminated for failure to produce the requested records. Rather than provide it, Cory took off. They also say he was not a team leader or shift leader, and describe that Mills' claims of military experience and training did not match up with his records.

Cory Mills of sextortion, accepting ‘money bags’ Ex-girlfriend of Rep. Cory Mills says in hearing she 'begged' him to stop contacting her SBA Lawsuit: Cory Mills and Rana Al Saadi are named in lawsuits as the owners of PACEM Solutions LLC. SBA investigated their CARE Act Funds, they were using those funds to pay his SBA loans, SBA determined he got the CARE Act Funds illegally because he defaulted on his SBA loan to buy the property in Perry FL. SBA demanded the almost 200k back. Then PACEM Solutions International LLC sued the SBA , and said they owed him money. They lost that case, then appealed, they lost that too. Case Summary: In a unanimous decision, a Fourth Circuit panel affirmed the district court’s ruling that the SBA properly concluded PACEM’s $5 million loan was ineligible for COVID-19 debt relief under the CARES Act. “Benjamin Russell was injured by a flying smoke grenade.” PACEM grenade exploded and injured a police officer during a training in Alabama. They sued Pacem Defense, LLC d/b/a ALS Technologies. PACEM tried to move the case out of Alabama, they filed a motion, it was denied. This case is currently active. “The first three counts target the SAF Smoke Grenade’s manufacturers (Pacem Defense, LLC d/b/a ALS Technologies). Count I alleges wantonness and negligence . Count II alleges breach of warranty . And Count III alleges breach of the Alabama Extended Manufacturer’s Liability Doctrine.” Russell v. LEIDOS Inc et al CASE NUMBER: 1:23-cv-01488-CLM DSS A.S. V. Pacem Defense LLC, d/b/a PACEM Defense/ALS Lawsuit PACEM got a contract worth $10,000,000 to sell 40 mm grenades to DSS A.S.; they received 3 to 5 million in down payments. The grenades were never delivered. PACEM was offered 14 million by the Ukranian Ministry of Interior via Spetstechnoexport for the grenades they were supposed to send to DSS AS. Instead of fulfilling their contract with DSS AS, PACEM attempted to send the grenades to Spetstechnoexport. When DSS AS inquired about their missing ammo, PACEM accidentally sent them the new DSP-5 showing that their ammo was going to Spetstechnoexport instead. D.S.S. AS subsequently filed a lawsuit against PACEM. D.S.S. AS sued for fraud, conversion of money, etc. Case is still active. Following mediation, both parties told the judge they are working to reach an agreement to settle the case. PACEM still owes them 3 to 5 million. Original Complaint / Amended Complaint Customs & Border Patrol /DHS Seizes Ammo To sell certain things to foreign companies, companies have to get approval (Form DSP-5) from the DTTC within DHS; when DSS A.S. got the contract with PACEM, PACEM submitted the DSP-5 and got it approved; that approval was only for a limited number of months. Instead of doing an amendment to their current DSP-5 (a DSP-6) when they decided to fulfill the order with Spetstechnoexport instead of DSS A.S., they did a new DSP-5 and had another company (Battle Born Munitions out of Nevada) ship the grenades for them. When the ammo went from their facility in Perry, FL to Port Leland in Wilmington, NC, it was discovered that the numbers on the new DSP-5 didn’t match anything in the database. "ICE Homeland Security Investigations (*HSI") ultimately determined that the export license that Simter had been provided by BBM was marked with two separate license numbers - 058281440 and 058281140 - and the license was fraudulent. " The shipper called DHS. Customs & Border Patrol seized the grenades. PACEM asked for them back - they were denied. They kept going back and forth asking for them back. There is an active investigation alleging that PACEM LLCs was trying to ship the grenades out of the country illegally, violating 4 federal statutes. The Office of Congressional Ethics recommends further review of allegations against Rep. Mills because there is substantial reason to believe that Mills may have: 1-Omitted or misrepresented required information in his financial disclosure statements. 2-Accepted excessive contributions in the form of personal loans and contributions that may not have derived from Rep. Mills’s personal funds. 3-Entered into, held, or enjoyed contracts with federal agencies while serving in Congress. Cory Mills also declined" to provide requested information to the OCE, did not cooperate with the OCE review" and the board has recommended that he be subpoenaed also one with others from PACEM and two of the companies that worked on his campaign.

Waygar: Issuer 10 (PACEM) Learn More About Mills' Business & Finances Outstanding Debt Loans of approximately $23,000,000 are owed to Waygar Capital, Inc., in Toronto, CA for his business and business cash flow; the FEC is investigating how some of these funds made it from his business to his campaign fund Refer to audio recording above of Waygar's CEO describing Issuer 10 (i.e. PACEM) to investors in March 2022 "In a presentation to investors, Waygar said, “we anticipate that issuers 2, 9, and 10 [Pacem] will be exiting the fund by late Q4 or early Q1 2023.” Despite Ninepoint "calling" the loan, PACEM hasn't paid down their debt as of September 2023." The finding that "ALS was acquired for $10 million is very interesting. How can the same company have $50 million in debt now? Mills told Business Insider that the loan was for R&D.
