The Afghanistan Campaign Medal (ACM) is a military award of the United States military which was created by Executive Order 13363 of President George W. Bush on November 29, 2004. The Afghanistan Campaign Medal was designed by the U.S. Army Institute of Heraldry.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Error )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Factsheets : Afghanistan Campaign Medal )〕 The Afghanistan Campaign Medal became available for general distribution in June 2005. It is awarded to any member of the U.S. military who has performed duty within the borders of Afghanistan (or its airspace) for a period of thirty consecutive days or sixty non-consecutive days. The medal is retroactive to October 24, 2001 and is active until a date to be determined. Personnel who have been engaged in combat with an enemy force, or personnel who have been wounded in combat within Afghanistan, may receive the Afghanistan Campaign Medal regardless of the number of days spent within the country. The medal is also awarded posthumously to any service member who dies in the line of duty within Afghanistan, including from non-combat injuries such as accidents and mishaps.〔("DoD Announces Criteria for Two New Campaign Medals" ) United States Department of Defense 07 April 2005〕〔("New Campaign Medals Recognize Iraq, Afghanistan Service" ) United States Department of Defense 07 April 2005〕 ==Campaign phases and devices== The following are the established campaign phases for the Afghanistan Campaign Medal:〔( New Campaign phase approved )〕〔 〕 For each campaign phase that an individual participates in, a bronze 3/16" service star is worn on the service ribbon, with a silver service star being worn in lieu of five bronze service stars:〔(Army Regulation 600-8-22 )〕〔〔(Air Force Instruction 36-2803 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.public.navy.mil/ia/Documents/NAV08141.txt )〕〔(Coast Guard Commandant Instruction 1650.25D )〕 The Afghanistan Campaign Medal may also be awarded with the combat operation insignia for qualified sailors assigned to Marine Corps units, as well as the arrowhead device for qualified soldiers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Afghanistan Campaign Medal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
