US ARMY ACHIEVEMENT MEDAL -
This is the US Army achievement medal. Instituted in 1981. The medal was awarded
to members of the armed forces below the rank of colonel, who served with
excellence in a noncombat situation. As long as the nature of the service rendered
did not qualify for the Army commendation medal.
The design of the medal consists of the front bearing the Army seal. The back
section has three lines that read "For Military Achievement".
The name of the person who won the medal could be inscribed in the back. The
sample feature here does not have any inscriptions.
