The Department of the Army Achievement Medal for Civilian Service is awarded for noteworthy achievements that are of a lesser degree than those recognized by the Commander's Award for Civilian Service. It was approved by the Army Chief of Staff, on 24 August 1987. It is the fifth highest award in the Department of the Army Honorary Awards scheme for Department of the Army employees, ranking just below the Commander's Award for Civilian Service.〔(Achievement Medal for Civilian Service ), Department of the Army Civilian Awards, The Institute of Heraldry, date accessed 2011-03-14.〕 It consists of a medal, lapel pin, and certificate.〔(AWARDS: The Achievement Medal for Civilian Service ), Department of the Army Honorary Awards for Department of the Army Employees, Army Civilian Personnel Online, date accessed 2011-03-14.〕 == Criteria == Any commander Lieutenant Colonel and above, or civilian equivalent, may approve this award.
