The Board has decided to remand the case due to missing service treatment records and military personnel records, particularly those from the Veteran's deployment in Germany during the Cold War. The Veteran claims his right knee condition is related to an injury sustained while running PT exercises.
The deciding factor: There are outstanding relevant service treatment records that need to be obtained to determine the etiology of the Veteran's claimed right knee condition.
