Coast Guard Meritorious Team Commendation Ribbon, 1-3/8"L x 3/8"H

The Coast Guard Meritorious Team Commendation Ribbon, measuring 1-3/8 inches long by 3/8 inches high, is a unit award established on December 22, 1993. It recognizes exceptional teamwork and cohesion displayed by Coast Guard units or teams during challenging missions. This award is often given for actions that would typically warrant a Commandant's Letter of Commendation if recognizing an individual.

The ribbon features a scarlet red background with Old Glory Blue edges and four white stripes in the center, symbolizing unity and excellence. Additional awards are denoted by gold stars, and an Operational Distinguishing Device ("O" device) may be added if the commendation was earned under field operating conditions
