Nobody enjoys writing the justification
A Soldier earned it, the packet is due, and now somebody has to turn "he ran supply and the inventory came out clean" into achievement entries that hold up. That is the writing that stalls a packet, and it has to be done fresh for every Soldier.
Type the facts here and you get that write-up immediately, in award register, against AR 600-8-22.
The justification is the part you actually have to write
Most units already have a citation format they reuse. Somebody has the file, the wording gets recycled, and the certificate ends up looking the way that unit's certificates always look. Fine. That is not the hard part.
The hard part is the achievement entries: the substantive justification you type into the award recommendation, describing what the Soldier actually did and why it rates the award. Those cannot be recycled from the last packet. That is what this writes, and that is why the free preview shows you an achievement entry rather than a flowery opening line.
You still get the citation with an account. It just is not the thing worth previewing.
What you see free, and what you do not
This page shows you the first achievement entry in full, plus the opening of the second right up to where it cuts off. That is enough to judge whether the writing is any good and to see where the rest is headed, which is the honest reason to give something away. The remaining entries and the citation come with a free account.
We are not playing games with it either. The rest of the text never leaves our server, so there is nothing blurred out in the page waiting to be uncovered by anyone who knows how to open a browser console. What you cannot see is not there.
It writes from your facts, and only your facts
AR 600-8-22 paragraph D-2c says narrative descriptions must be factual and corroborated by supporting documentation. That is a real standard, and an AI that invents a dollar figure to make a packet sound better fails it.
So every result, number, date, and named program in the output has to trace back to something you typed. Rough shorthand gets rewritten into professional diction. Vague praise with no fact behind it gets dropped instead of embellished. The wording gets elevated. The facts never do.
The three awards it covers
- AAM. Written against paragraph 3-20b, which recognizes achievement of a lesser degree than the ARCOM requires.
- ARCOM. Written against paragraph 3-19b, for heroism, meritorious achievement, or meritorious service.
- MSM. Written against paragraph 3-17a, for outstanding meritorious achievement or service. Its facts should show sustained impact at the organizational level.
If the facts you supply read below the award you picked, it still writes the award you asked for and tells you what evidence that level usually shows. That is an advisory, not a refusal, because the decision is the recommender's to make.
The regulation caps the achievement block at four entries, so that is the ceiling here too, and each entry starts with a past-tense action verb.
Officers get these too
The rank list runs from PVT through LTC on purpose. End of tour, PCS, retirement, and single-achievement recommendations all cross the officer and enlisted line, and the citation voice does not change because of the grade on the front.

Questions
How much of the write-up do I see free?
The preview shows the first achievement entry in full plus the start of the second, so you can see exactly where the write-up is going before it cuts off. The remaining entries and the citation need a free account. Nothing beyond the preview is ever sent to this page, so there is nothing hidden in the browser to dig out.
Does it write the citation or the justification?
Both, but the justification is the part worth previewing. Most units already have a citation format they reuse, while the achievement entries have to be written fresh for every Soldier. That is the harder writing, so that is what the preview shows you.
Which awards does it cover?
The Army Achievement Medal, the Army Commendation Medal, and the Meritorious Service Medal. Each one is written against its own criteria paragraph in AR 600-8-22.
Will it make up numbers to make the packet look better?
No. Every result, figure, date, and named program has to come from the facts you typed. AR 600-8-22 paragraph D-2c requires narrative descriptions to be factual and corroborated, so vague praise gets dropped rather than dressed up.
Is this an official Army product?
No. BulletForge is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the U.S. Army or the Department of Defense. It is a private writing tool.
