Guidelines of receiving an award

All awards may only be awarded by high command and must fit within set criteria specified by the Master of Ceremonies agreed to by the high command review board appointed. The Master of Ceremonies has been given permission to deny the awarding of a medal based on the criteria, set out by the high command review board, even for high command.

The Majority of awards are not retroactive and will not be given based upon previous activities in and outside of the battlefield as they can not be proven and can also not be assessed with the same psychological criteria as awards after the awards system has been activated.

Some awards are retroactive:
The Good Conduct Award
The Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal
The NCO Professional Development Ribbon
The CO Professional Development Ribbon
The United Nations Service Award
The NATO Service Award
The CATA Service Award
Note: These awards are retroactive because no psychological aspect has changed to their job and also requires recognition with substantial proof before given the award.

GENERAL AWARDS

The Good Conduct Award is awarded for exemplary behavior, efficiency, and fidelity in general service in the armed service. It is awarded on a selective basis to each soldier who distinguishes himself from among his/her fellow soldiers by their exemplary conduct, efficiency, and fidelity throughout a specified period of continuous enlisted service.


The Soldier’s Medal is awarded to any person of the Armed Forces whom distinguished himself by heroism not involving actual conflict with an enemy. The same degree of heroism is required as for the award of the Distinguished Flying Cross. The performance must have involved personal hazard or danger and the voluntary risk of life under conditions not involving conflict with an armed enemy. Awards will not be made solely based on having saved a life.


The Meritorious Service Award is awarded to members of the Armed Forces who distinguished themselves by outstanding non-combat meritorious achievement or service. Normally, the acts or services rendered must be comparable to that required for the Legion of Merit but in a duty of lesser though considerable responsibility.


The Legion of Merit is awarded to all members of the Armed Forces without reference to degree for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services and achievements. The performance must have been such as to merit recognition of key individuals for service rendered in a clearly exceptional manner. Performance of duties normal to the grade, branch, specialty or assignment, and experience of an individual is not an adequate basis for this award. For service not related to actual war the term "key individual" applies to a narrower range of positions than in time of war and requires evidence of significant achievement.


The Armed Forces Service Award is awarded to personnel assigned to operations as infantry in any area and have been continually successful and dedicated to any task at hand for a singular combat situation.


The Army Achievement Award is awarded to any member of the armed forces who distinguished himself by meritorious service or achievement of a lesser degree than required for award of the Army Commendation Medal. The Army Achievement Medal will not be awarded to general officers.


The Army Commendation Award is awarded to any member of the Armed Forces whom distinguished himself by heroism, meritorious achievement or meritorious service. Awards may be made for acts of valor performed under circumstances described above which are of lesser degree than required for award of the Bronze Star Medal. These acts may not involve aerial flight. An award may be made for acts of non-combatant-related heroism which do not meet the requirements for an award of the Soldier’s Medal.


The Defense Distinguished Service Award is awarded for exceptionally distinguished performance of duty contributing to security or defense at the highest levels while assigned to a joint activity.


The Distinguished Service Award is awarded to a person who, while serving in any capacity with the Army, distinguishes himself or herself by extraordinary heroism not justifying the award of a Medal of Honor; while engaged in an action against an enemy; while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing/foreign force. The act or acts of heroism must have been so notable and have involved risk of life so extraordinary as to set the individual apart from his or her comrades.


The Bronze Star Medal is awarded to any person who, while serving in any capacity in the armed forces, distinguished himself by heroic or meritorious achievement or service, not involving participation in aerial flight, while engaged in an action against an enemy. Awards may be made for acts of heroism, performed under circumstances described above, which are of lesser degree than required for the award of the Silver Star. Awards may be made to recognize single acts of merit or meritorious service. The required achievement or service while of lesser degree than that required for the award of the Legion of Merit must nevertheless have been meritorious and accomplished with distinction.


The Silver Star is awarded to a person who, while serving in any capacity with the Armed forces, is cited for gallantry in action against an enemy while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force. The required gallantry, while of a lesser degree than that required for award of the Distinguished Service Cross, must nevertheless have been performed with marked distinction.


The Medal of Honor is awarded, by the Leader to a person who, while a member of the Armed forces on active duty, distinguishes himself or herself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his or her life above and beyond the call of duty while engaged in action against an enemy. The deed performed must have been one of personal bravery or self-sacrifice so conspicuous as to clearly distinguish the individual above his or her comrades and must have involved risk of life. Incontestable proof of the performance of the service will be exacted and each recommendation for the award of this decoration will be considered on the standard of extraordinary merit.
