United States Army Service Ribbon, 1-3/8"L x 3/8"H

The United States Army Service Ribbon, measuring 1-3/8 inches long by 3/8 inches high, is awarded to Army personnel upon successful completion of Initial Entry Training (IET). Established in 1981, this ribbon recognizes the foundational milestone of becoming part of the U.S. Army.

Its design features horizontal bands of blue, red, green, and yellow, symbolizing the spectrum of Army values and the progression of a soldier’s career. This ribbon is often one of the first awards received by Army members and serves as a gateway to future achievements and decorations.
