Awards Criteria
Created by the folks at Precision Medals.com, this page will display a criteria for every
award that the Navy is authorized to issue including awards that are "ribbon
only" awards. Medals that are common among more than one branch are
listed underneath each branch that rates it. Foreign awards are listed
underneath their own heading. Some common awards that have been issued to U.S.
Service members are foreign awards since they were issued by another country and
authorized to be worn by the U.S. Military.
