:''For other countries version of a service number, see "Service number"'' Service numbers were used by the United States Armed Forces as the primary means of service member identification from 1918 until 1974. Service numbers are public information available under the Freedom of Information Act, unlike social security numbers which are protected by the Privacy Act of 1974.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Information releasable under the Freedom of Information Act )〕 ==Usage== Each branch of the military service had its own version of service numbers. In order by year of creation, these were: * United States Army service numbers (1918) * United States Navy service numbers (1920) * United States Marine Corps service numbers (1920) * United States Coast Guard service numbers (1921) * United States Air Force service numbers (1948) The following are the original service numbers which were first issued to United States military personnel:〔National Personnel Records Center, Military Operations Branch, "Service number index and registry of retired, deceased, and discharged military personnel" (2007)〕 * R-1: Arthur Crean – First service number of the United States armed forces * O-1: John J. Pershing – First officer service number of the United States Army * 100 00 01: Clayton Aab — First enlisted service number of the United States Navy * 532 – Samuel R. Colhoun — Earliest recorded officer service number of the United States Navy * 01 – James Ackerman – First officer service number of the United States Marine Corps * 20001 – Alexander Schott — First enlisted service number of the United States Marine Corps * 1000 – Joseph F. Farley – First officer service number of the United States Coast Guard * 100000 – Mason B. Herring — First enlisted service number of the United States Coast Guard * 4A: Hoyt Vandenberg – Earliest recorded officer service number of the United States Air Force The original Air Force enlisted force was composed of personnel formerly of the United States Army Air Forces who continued to use their Army service numbers upon transfer to the Air Force in 1947. Thus, there is no established "first" enlisted service number of the U.S. Air Force since thousands of airmen simultaneously transferred into the Air Force on 18 September 1947.〔Department of the Air Force, TRF ORDER 1; 26 September 1947〕 Service numbers were eventually phased out completely by the social security number; the Army and Air Force converted to social security numbers on 1 July 1969, the Navy and Marine Corps on 1 January 1972, and the Coast Guard on 1 October 1974.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Service number information )〕 Since that time, social security numbers have become the ''de facto'' military service number for United States armed forces personnel. Beginning in 2002, the military began a further effort to protect the use of social security numbers, even within the military itself. New regulations declared that on all but the most official of documents (such as a DD Form 214 or evaluation reports) social security numbers would only list the last four digits. Regulations also were enacted to redact the social security number of reporting seniors (which were written in their entirety) on the personal copies of evaluation reports given to service members. The reason for this was to prevent possible identity theft issues committed by service members who had received a bad evaluation or who were disgruntled with their commanding officer〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Navy Fitrep and Eval Writing Guide )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Service number (United States Armed Forces)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
