Iraq
Campaign Medal |
Awarded to any member of the U.S. military,
who has performed duty within the borders of Iraq (or its territorial
waters) for a period of thirty consecutive days or sixty non-consecutive
days. The medal is retroactive to March 19, 2003 and is active until
a date to be determined. Personnel who have been engaged in combat
with an enemy force, or personnel who have been wounded in combat
or wounded as a result of a terrorist attack within Iraq, may receive
the Iraq Campaign Medal regardless of the number of days spent within
the country. The medal is also awarded posthumously to any service
member who dies in the line of duty within Iraq, including from
non-combat injuries such as accidents and mishaps. |
