The Special Operations Service Ribbon is a service award of the United States Coast Guard which was first created 1 July 1987 by order of Commandant of the Coast Guard, Admiral Paul A. Yost Jr. The award is authorized for certain acts of non-combat meritorious service, for which no other service medal or ribbon is authorized. The four main areas of eligibility, for the presentation of the Special Operations Service Ribbon, are listed as follows: * Coast Guard operations of a special nature involving multiple agency involvement pertaining to national security or law enforcement. * Coast Guard operations of a special nature in support of special events drawing large media interest and public attention. * Coast Guard operations or involvement with foreign government in all areas of saving life and property at sea. * Coast Guard operations of assistance for friendly and/or developing nations. Initially a one-time award precluded from the use of service stars, multiple awards of the Special Operations Service Ribbon are now denoted by service stars. The Commandant of the Coast Guard has also periodically authorized award of the Special Operations Service Ribbon to certain warships, aviation squadrons and other selected units of the U.S. Navy, primarily for support of USCG-led counter-narcotics (CN) and drug interdiction operations and to USN and U.S. Air Force units assisting in search and rescue and/or natural disaster events in partnership with the U.S. Coast Guard. ==See also== *Awards and decorations of the United States military'' 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「Special Operations Service Ribbon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
