Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; current rendered profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.

The inherited award lacked a usable rank and the inherited working description treated Haskell generically as Sergeant. Both the current reference profile and official Army index identify Sergeant Major. Sergeant Major is canonical, and the complete inherited record remains preserved.
