Thanks. I don't believe the military is seeking to withold anything on a FOIA exemption. Am I right about that?

I'm not familiar enough with FOIA to know.

Ah, here it is:

(b)(6) EXEMPTION 6 Personal Information Affecting and Individual's Privacy. This exemption permits the government to withhold all information about individuals in "personnel and medical files and similar files" when the disclosure of such information " would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy." This exemption cannot be invoked to withhold from a requester information pertaining to the requester.

I would think that would be the applicable exemption and, unless the individual waived his/her privacy rights - say by signing a Form 180 - the document custodian would have to assert the exemption.
