Service ribbons, ribbon devices, and badge awards displayed on a U.S. Navy service uniform
The United States Armed Forces awards and decorations are primarily the medals, service ribbons, and specific badges which recognize military service and personal accomplishments while a member of the U.S. Armed Forces. Such awards are a means to outwardly display the highlights of a service member's career.
- 2U.S. military, awards currently issued to service members
- 4U.S. military, inactive and obsolete awards
Order of precedence[edit]
While each service has its own order of precedence, the following general rules typically apply to all services:
- U.S. military personal decorations
- U.S. military unit awards[1a][1b]
- U.S. non-military personal decorations (in order of receipt; if two or more from the same agency, the applicable agency precedence listing should be consulted)[2]
- Presidential awards (i.e., Presidential Medal of Freedom, Presidential Citizen’s Medal)
- National Medals (i.e., National Security Medal, National Science Medal, Gold Lifesaving Medal, Silver Lifesaving Medal)
- DoD and JCS Distinguished Service awards
- Agency-specific Distinguished Service awards
- Agency-specific Superior Service awards
- Agency-specific Meritorious (or Exceptional) Service awards
- Agency-specific Commendation awards
- Agency-specific Achievement awards
- Civilian unit awards
- Civilian service awards
- U.S. non-military unit awards[3]
- U.S. military campaign and service medals
- U.S. military service and training awards (ribbon-only awards)[4][3a]
- U.S. Merchant Marine awards and non-military service awards
- Foreign military personal decorations (in order of receipt; if two or more from the same country, the applicable country precedence listing should be consulted)
- Foreign military unit awards[1]
- Non-U.S. service awards (e.g., United Nations, NATO, etc.)
- Foreign military service awards[4]
- Marksmanship awards (Air Force,[3a] Navy & Coast Guard)[3b]
- Awards of U.S. military societies and other organizations6a6b
- State awards of the National Guard (Army & Air Force only)
Notes on branch-specific exceptions to the above:
- 1a In the Army, unit awards (any type) are worn as a separate grouping, on the right side of the uniform, with and without frames, are worn in the order of precedence from the wearer’s right to left.
- 1b In the Navy, unit award ribbons are only worn on the right side of the uniform, when wearing full medals on the left side. Arrange ribbons in order of precedence in rows from top down, inboard to outboard; this reverses the order of ribbons (as compared to when placed inline with other awards on the left side). For U.S. Navy, the USPHS unit awards are considered (military) unit awards. However, if Navy personnel are also awarded USPHS personal decorations (e.g., USPHS Distinguished Service Medal), then the USPHS order of precedence would apply.
- 2 Some awards, despite being ribbon-only, are higher in precedence. The Navy & Coast Guard Combat Action Ribbons and the Coast Guard's Commandant's Letter of Commendation Ribbon are included with personal decorations, while two Air Force ribbon-only awards (the Outstanding Airman of the Year Ribbon & the Air Force Recognition Ribbon) and the Coast Guard Enlisted Person of the Year Ribbon are considered in the same category as service medals.
- 3a Marksmanship Awards in the Air Force are considered training awards. 3b The Army and Marine Corps issue Marksmanship Qualification Badges instead of Marksmanship awards.
- 4 For Navy, Merchant Marine awards are considered U.S. non-military awards.
- 5 The obsolete Philippine Commonwealth service awards (Philippine Defense, Liberation, & Independence Medals), when still listed in the order of precedence, come before the United Nations medals (Army & Marine Corps[1]) or before the Merchant Marine awards (Air Force).
- 6a For Navy, medals and ribbons from military societies, such as the Army and Navy Union of the United States, worn in the order earned may be worn after marksmanship awards. Medals, ribbons and badges issued by these societies may be worn only while actually attending meetings or conventions or while participating in parades or other ceremonies as a member of these organizations.
- 6b For Army, no allowance of military society medals or ribbons is prescribed; however, badges are authorized. More specifically, badges of the Army and Navy Union of the United States of America are authorized for such active duty ANU members without further restriction. Badges of other civic and quasi-military societies of the United States, and international organizations of a military nature may also be worn with restrictions. These include badges of organizations originally composed of members who served in a U.S. force during the Revolutionary War; the War of 1812; the Mexican War; the Civil War; the Spanish–American War; the Philippine Insurrection; and the Chinese Relief Expedition of 1900. The badges are worn only while the wearer is actually attending meetings or functions of such organizations, or on occasions of ceremony. Personnel will not wear these badges to and from such meetings or events.
U.S. military, awards currently issued to service members[edit]
Order of precedence[edit]
Notes: Precedence of particular awards will vary slightly among the different branches of service. All awards and decorations may be awarded to any service member unless otherwise designated by name or notation.[2]
|
|
Note: ^ The precedence of the Purple Heart was immediately before the Good Conduct Medals until changed to its current precedence in 1985.
Military departments[edit]
To denote additional achievements or multiple awards of the same decoration, the United States military maintains a number of award devices which are pinned to service ribbons and medals.
National Guard and state defense forces[edit]
U.S. military, inactive and obsolete awards[edit]
U.S. military personnel having received these awards have either been discharged or retired for a substantial length of time and/or are deceased (with the exception of the Fleet Marine Force Ribbon and the military awards of the DoT).
|
|
Discontinued or proposed[edit]
The following decorations were designed for issuance with an approved medal, but were either never officially approved for presentation or were discontinued before a first award could be made.
|
|
Single service awards[edit]
Single service awards were official military decorations created as one time awards to recognize a single event. The first such single service award was issued during the Spanish–American War by the Revenue Cutter Service to honor the actions of the vessel USRC Hudson during the Battle of Cárdenas. The last single service award was issued in 1960 when Congress authorized the awarding of the Four Chaplains' Medal recognizing the Four Chaplains who died together during World War II.[7] There have been no single service awards issued since by the U.S. military, mainly due to the decline and complications of awarding commemorative service medals.
|
|
Unofficial decorations[edit]
Unofficial decorations are those military awards created and issued by local commanders. In most cases, unofficial awards were designed to commemorate a specific battle or engagement of a commander's unit. The most well known unofficial awards were issued during the American Civil War.
|
|
After the Civil War, stricter military regulations prohibited local commanders from issuing awards and the practice had fallen into disuse by the 20th century. Even so, the Department of Defense has stated that large numbers of unofficial medals were privately issued to members of the Armed Forces of the United States for many years after the Civil War, mostly to commemorate specific battles, events, or as private veteran memorabilia.[8] One of the more well known is the Walter Reed Medal (recognized today as a Congressional Gold Medal), awarded for exploratory scientific achievement in the field of malaria treatment. While presented as a gold medallion, members of the military were reported to wear a red ribbon on their uniforms to denote the decoration.
Foreign and international awards[edit]
Foreign and international decorations are authorized for wear on United States military uniforms by the Department of Defense in accordance with established regulations for the receipt of such awards as outlined by the State Department. In the case of foreign decorations, the awards may be divided into senior service decorations (awarded only to high ranking U.S. officers), heroic decorations for valor, and foreign service decorations.
There are hundreds of foreign and international awards which have been approved for issuance to United States military personnel since World War I, the following being among the more common.
|
|
During the First and Second World Wars, the Croix de Guerre medals of France and Belgium, as well as the French Military Medal and Luxembourg War Cross, were further issued as unit citation cords, known as Fourragère. Service members could receive both the individual award and the unit cord; in the case of the later, the unit citation could either be worn temporarily while a member of the unit or permanently if the service member was present during the actual battle which warranted the unit citation. A further unit citation cord of the Order of William of the Netherlands was also issued during World War II, and was far more commonly known as the 'Orange Lanyard'.
As of 2002, South Korea has again issued the Korean Presidential Unit Citation to certain units of the United States Marine Corps, thus placing this previously obsolete foreign award back on the active order of precedence for U.S. decorations. Apart from this one decoration, most 21st century foreign military awards are reserved for only the most senior flag and general officers and then only presented as 'end of tour' decorations upon transfer from a major command.

Being given a military medal is one of the highest honors an individual can receive. There are many medals that people can have bestowed upon them. It is illegal to try to replicate or sell medals that an individual receives from the military. Due to the honors associated with military medals, there is a proper way to display them.
Displaying a Medal of Honor
Military medals can be received by those who have served in a branch of the military or by their surviving family members. The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration and is one of two neck-order awards. Recipients of these awards have distinguished themselves with extreme gallantry while engaged in action against an enemy of the United States. These awards should be displayed in a glass wooden case that is able to support and show the entire neck medal.
Maintaining Proper Order of Display
Members of all branches of the military are eligible to receive medals. The military medals have varied in designs over the years but the order and way of display has remained consistent.
If you have several military medals, you should obtain a medal chart from the U.S. Defense Department. These charts are available from the personnel branch and can be mailed to you. The charts will outline how you should display your medals. For example, some medals should be displayed so that the medals increase in honor from left to right, with the lowest honor awards on the left and the highest honors to the right. To learn more about arranging your awards, you can to go to the main website of the Defense Department and call the contact numbers provided.
It is important to follow the order of how to place your military medals. This proper displays shows respect for that branch of military and the hard work put forth by those who serve and protect our country.
Mounting Your Medals
Most military medals have mounting pins on the back of them. Once you have your military medal chart, you can use it to arrange your medals and place them in a wood-backed, glass-covered case that is large enough to hold them all. You can search the Internet or look around your community for companies that specialize in selling military-medal display cases.

Example of badges and tabs worn on the U.S. Army Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) uniform
Badges of the United States Army are military decorations issued by the United States Department of the Army to soldiers who achieve a variety of qualifications and accomplishments while serving on active and reserve duty in the United States Army.
As described in Army Regulations 670-1 Uniforms and Insignia, badges are categorized into marksmanship, combat and special skill, identification, and foreign.[1] Combat and Special Skill badges are further divided into five groups.[2]
A total of six combat and special skill badges are authorized for wear at one time on service and dress uniforms; this total does not include special skill tabs or special skill tab metal replicas.
Personnel may wear up to three badges above the ribbons or pocket flap, or in a similar location for uniforms without pockets. Personnel may only wear one combat or special skill badges from either group 1 or group 2 above the ribbons. Soldiers may wear up to three badges from groups 3 and 4 above the ribbons. One badge from either group 1 or group 2 may be worn with badges from groups 3 and 4 above the ribbons so long as the total number of badges above the ribbons does not exceed three.
Only three badges (from groups 3, 4, or 5), to include marksmanship badges, can be worn on the pocket flap at one time. This total does not include special skill tab metal replicas. Personnel will wear the driver and mechanic badges only on the wearer’s left pocket flap of service and dress uniforms, or in a similar location on uniforms without pockets. Personnel may not attach more than three clasps to the driver and mechanic badges. The driver and mechanic badges are not authorized for wear on utility uniforms.
The order of precedence for combat and special skill badges are established only by group. There is no precedence for combat or special skill badges within the same group. For example, personnel who are authorized to wear the Parachutist and Air Assault badges may determine the order of wear between those two badges.[3]
The 21st century United States Army issues the following military badges (listed below in order of group precedence) which are worn in conjunction with badges of rank and branch insignia.
