About this ribbon

Army origin with Navy/Marine attachment eligibility explicitly documented by HRC. This is distinct from the post-WWII Army of Occupation Medal.

Catalog associations: Army, Navy, Marine Corps. Historical or discontinued award retained for veterans and families. Branch associations are browsing guidance; other service awards may also appear in a veteran’s record.

Service years and award dates

Years help surface possibilities. A date overlap does not show that someone earned an award. Some date rules describe completion, specific operations or retroactive eligibility, rather than a universal service window.
