About this ribbon

Official 1953 manual gives termination as 12 September 1958 and requires ten years of satisfactory federal reserve service. Earliest credited service has not been independently verified.

Catalog associations: Navy. 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.

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

Do not interpret 1938 establishment as earliest service credited toward 10 years.
Exact beginning of accumulated qualifying service not verified; the 1938 establishment date is not used as a service start.

Official award references

Consult the applicable service guidance for eligibility, precedence and authorized devices.
