View Award - Legion of Merit
Awarded to members of the Armed Forces of the United Federation of Planets who distinguish themselves by exceptionally meritorious conduct in performing outstanding service. To justify the Legion of Merit Medal decoration, the service rendered must have been comparable to that required for the Distinguished Service Medal, but in a duty of lesser, though considerable, responsibility. In general, the Legion of Merit medal will be awarded to officers in lesser commands at sea, or principal commands on shore, who have performed such exceptionally meritorious service as to justify the award of the Distinguished Service Medal, except as to degree of merit. However, this should not be interpreted to preclude the award of the Legion of Merit Medal to any individual, regardless of rank, whose acts or services meet the requirements. When the degree of achievement or service rendered, although meritorious, is not sufficient to warrant the award of the Legion of Merit Medal, the Bronze Star Medal or the Meritorious Service Medal should be considered.
