Coast Guard Arctic Service Ribbon, 1-3/8"L x 3/8"H

The Coast Guard Arctic Service Ribbon, measuring 1-3/8 inches long by 3/8 inches high, is awarded to Coast Guard personnel who complete 21 days of non-consecutive duty north of the Arctic Circle. Established in 1976, this ribbon recognizes service in challenging Arctic conditions, whether afloat, ashore, or as part of aircrew missions.

Its design features a navy blue stripe at the center, flanked by progressively lighter shades of blue and white stripes, symbolizing the icy and remote Arctic environment.

This ribbon is a testament to the resilience and dedication of those who serve in extreme conditions.
