I've got two of them. It's the Certificate of Release or Discharge From Active Duty. For someone on active duty who doesn't reenlist, this is given to them upon ETS. For members of the National Guard and Reserve components who undergo a period of federal activation (other than training), their status changes from National Guard, Reserve, IRR, et. al. to active duty during that time, and they receive a DD214 upon their release from active duty and back into their Guard/Reserve/IRR status. It'll give a characterization of their service, awards, duty stations and deployments, and reentry eligibility.
