History – Established 1976
Established on June 30, 1976, the Army Commander’s Award for Civilian Service Medal is approximately equivalent to the Army Commendation Medal and was created as a means to recognize civilians and qualifying foreign nationals who have demonstrated an established record of high achievement in serving the Armed Forces. Awardees have typically received previous honors such as the Army Achievement Medal for Civilian Service.
Determination of eligibility rests with commanders but generally entails the performance of courageous acts in the event of an emergency on behalf of the government; work in the field of public relations or communications to portray the Armed Forces in a positive light; evidence of strong leadership qualities to enhance the overall performance of a unit; contributions resulting in improved protocols, procedures, or equipment; or general exemplary conduct in all duties.
