Starfleet Commendation Medal

Awarded to individuals (including foreign military personnel) who, while serving in any capacity with Starfleet, distinguish themselves, by heroic or meritorious achievement or service. To merit the Starfleet Commendation Medal award, the acts or services must be accomplished or performed in a manner above that normally expected, and sufficient to distinguish the individual above those performing similar services as set forth in the following:

(1) Heroic Achievement or Service. Act(s) of heroism worthy of special recognition, but not to the degree required for the Bronze Star Medal when combat is involved, or the Starfleet Medal when combat is not involved.

(2) Meritorious Achievement or Service. A single achievement or a period of service worthy of special recognition, but not to the degree required for the Bronze Star Medal when combat is involved, or the Meritorious Service Medal when combat is not involved.

(a) An award for meritorious service may cover an extended period of time; such award does not preclude an additional award for a specific act within that period, if warranted. The criteria, however, should not be the period of service involved, but rather the circumstances and conditions under which the service was performed.

(b) The performance should be well above that usually expected of an individual commensurate with his or her rank, and above that degree of excellence that can be appropriately reflected in the individual's fitness report, performance evaluation, or personnel record.

Combat Distinguishing Device. The Combat Distinguishing Device may be authorized for this Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal.
