Inter-service awards and decorations of the United States military
Inter-service awards and decorations of the United States military are military awards that are issued by the U.S. Armed Forces to members of all five branches of the U.S. military service. Such medals are thus considered "inter-service" awards and are awarded under the same criteria to all military branches.
==History==
The first inter-service medal to be created was the World War I Victory Medal. This was followed by the Purple Heart〔"PURPLE HEART (Background.c.)",The Institute of Heraldry,http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/Awards/purple_heart.aspx〕 and the Silver Star,〔"The United States of America: Silver Star",Medals of the World,http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/Awards/silver_star.aspx〕 established in 1932 by a General Order of the Department of the Army. In 1942, the United States Navy authorized the issuance of these two medals to members of the Navy and United States Marine Corps.〔"PURPLE HEART (Background.d.)",The Institute of Heraldry,http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/Awards/purple_heart.aspx〕〔"SILVER STAR (Background.c.)",The Institute of Heraldry,http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/Awards/silver_star.aspx〕 Prior to this time, several older service medals had been issued both to the Army and Navy, but in different versions for each service. The World War I Victory Medal, Silver Star, and Purple Heart were thus the first medals which appeared identical, regardless of which service was bestowing the award.
The next inter-service medals to be created were the Legion of Merit〔"LEGION OF MERIT",The Institute of Heraldry,http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/Awards/legion_of_merit.aspx〕 and the Air Medal. By the end of World War II, several World War II service medals had also been established for issuance to both Army and Navy personnel. The United States Coast Guard also received such awards under the authority of the Department of the Navy.
The Korean Service Medal〔"The United States of America: Korea Service Medal",Medals of the World,http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/Awards/korean_service.aspx〕 was the first inter-service award which was issued to all five branches of the U.S. military as, by the time frame of the Korean War, the United States Air Force had been established as a separate branch of service. In the 1960s and 1970s, the United States Armed Forces began creating several more campaign medals and service awards, all of which could be issued to every branch of the military.
In the 1960s and 1970s, the United States Department of Defense began creating a series of peacetime meritorious awards which were eligible for presentation to any military member working in a joint command or under the authority of the Secretary of Defense. The last such medal, the Joint Service Achievement Medal, was created in 1983. The only inter-service unit award, the Joint Meritorious Unit Award was created in 1981.〔"Joint Meritorious Unit Award",http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/Awards/joint_meritorious.aspx〕〔"JOINT MERITORIOUS UNIT AWARD",Headquarters United States European Command,http://www.eucom.mil/english/CommandStaff/ECJ1/ECJ1-PAD/JMUA/jmuamain.asp〕
On April 5, 2011, President Barack Obama amended Executive Order 12824 modifying the award eligibility of the Homeland Security Distinguished Service Medal to "any member of the Armed Forces of the United States" making it an inter-service award of the U.S. military. Recently, this decoration has been given to Gen Craig R. McKinley (USAF) for his service as Chief of the National Guard Bureau.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Panetta hosts Chief Change for National Guard Bureau )
The Medal of Honor, while technically an inter-service award, is issued in different versions for each branch of military service. There are presently three versions of the decoration in existence for the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Marines receive the Navy version of the Medal of Honor while a Coast Guard version, which exists in theory, has never been bestowed (the one Coast Guard recipient of the Medal of Honor received the Navy version〔"Douglas Albert Munro, USCG", http://www.uscg.mil/history/Munro%20Index.html〕).
The following are the various military medals of the United States which are considered inter-service awards and decorations. Medals are shown in categories, not in order of precedence for uniform wear.
