Armed Forces Service Medal Ribbon, 1-3/8" x 3/8"
Dimensions 1-3/8"L x 3/8"H
Acquired from a Military Surplus Store that went out of business
The Armed Forces Service Medal (AFSM) is an award of the U.S. military and was established on January 11th, 1996. The AFSM is given to personnel who partake in "significant activity" for which no other service or campaign medal is accredited. The term "significant activity" is determined by theater commanders and is usually deemed to be participation in a U.S. military operation considered to hold a high degree of scope, impact, and international significance that the operation warrants the presentation of a permanent service medal. The individual standard for the AFSM specifies that a service member must achieve at least 30 consecutive days in a geographical theater region to qualify for the decoration. Aircrew personnel may attain the award if a total of 30 mission days was performed flying into and out of the given area.
