About this ribbon

Authorized 1 February 1963. Table 5-1 gives qualifying period expiration rules, beginning 1 February 1963; these are not asserted as dates on which underlying qualifying service could first accrue.

Catalog associations: Coast Guard. Current award reference. 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.

Service-date coverage for this ribbon is still being confirmed. It remains available in the finder when you enter service years.

Date coverage is not certified complete. The finder keeps this entry available when listed dates do not overlap.

Research notes and remaining questions

The former Coast Guard Reserve Meritorious Service Ribbon title is an alias/predecessor, not a second independently worn ribbon; the primary date of its renaming was not verified.
Legacy official ribbon-chart URL was identified, but the endpoint returned HTTP 403. No individually verified official ribbon image URL is supplied.
