About this ribbon

One ribbon design covers marksman, sharpshooter (S) and expert (E) qualification. Expert medal is not duplicated. Marine Corps qualification awards are badges and are excluded. 1953 manual authority establishes existence by 1953, not earliest qualifying year.

Catalog associations: Navy. 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

Qualifying service start date not independently verified; do not filter by establishment date.

Official award references

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