Unit Air Reserve Meritorious Service Ribbon, 1-3/8"L x 3/8"H

The Air Reserve Forces Meritorious Service Ribbon, measuring 1-3/8 inches long by 3/8 inches high, is awarded to enlisted members of the U.S. Air Force Reserve for exemplary behavior, efficiency, and fidelity during a specified period of service. Originally established as a ribbon bar in 1964, it was later amended in 1973 to include a medal.

The ribbon features a wide light blue center stripe flanked by narrow blue, gold, and white stripes, symbolizing the values of dedication and service. Oak leaf clusters are used to denote additional awards, with each cluster representing another qualifying period of service.

This ribbon is a meaningful recognition of sustained excellence and commitment.
