​

FACTS:

• According to his DD214 and Official Military Personnel File (OMPF), Cory Mills had no foreign service while in the United States Army. See evidence below

  • Senior Enlisted and Officers say that Mills never had boots on the ground. Multiple members of Mills’ brigade do not know him; others recall him from Fort Bragg but insist that he was not engaged in combat. 

  • If Mills was in Kuwait, at most he would have been in the main aid station for up to 4 months. The main aid station is NOT in a combat zone but rather in a secure area away from combat. However, Mills was actually an ambulance aide/driver. However, no ground ambulances were used in OIF1 between March 30 - April 19, 2023.

  • 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. 

    • ​The Department of the Army HRC and associated offices have noted that there is inaccurate information concerning Mills' awards, they are currently investigating to resolve this issue.

• 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. DYN Corporation appeared in front of Congress for human trafficking, organ harvesting, and bocci boy entertainment, as well as defrauding the U.S. government). Learn more about Mills' time overseas here.

• Cory Mills did not retire; he was a disgruntled ambulance aide/driver who technically went AWOL.

  • Ambulance aides/drivers do not engage in combat unless fired upon personally​

• Kosovo War was over when Mills entered the army; the combat was over June 11, 1999

  • ​The 82nd Airborne was sent to Kosovo for a medic training exercise in January of 2001, however, according to his OMPF, Mills was not a medic

• Mills was not fighting in Iraq for 7 years. The war in Iraq, referred to as Operation Iraqi Freedom, or OFI-1, began March 19, 2003. Part of the 82nd Airborne entered OIF-1 on March 30, 2003. Mills was a short-timer at that point, with only 3 1/2 months remaining in the U.S. Army. His DD214 and OMPF show no combat in this war. 

  • Mills was an ambulance aide/driver; no ground ambulances were used in OIF1 between March 30 - April 19, 2023.

• Mills used an Army archive picture on his campaign literature; no one in the photo knows Mills and Mills WAS NOT in the Battalion shown in the pictures. He also used other military photos that were not his.​

• Mills' claims of getting a 6 month extension in the military beginning in August 2003 are not reflected on his DD214 or his OMPF; additionally, records show that Mills rented an apartment and attended school in Jacksonville, FL from August 2003 – May 2005

• After being confronted about his false military combat claims, a member of Mills’ staff shared a Permanent Order for Combat Medical Badge on Mills' Twitter/X account. We have made an official request for a non-redacted version of this order and are awaiting a response from the military.

  • There is currently an official investigation about Mills' awards due to his lack of foreign service​.
