SECTION A - GENERAL 1. Why Awards Are Made. CAP awards are designed to recognize heroism, service, and program achievements. Prompt recognition through presentation of awards earned will promote esprit de corps. 2. CAP Awards: Section B - Decorations Section C - Cadet Program Awards Section D - Senior Program Awards Section E - Aerospace Education Awards Section F - Activity and Service Ribbons Section G - Special Awards and Honors Section H - Certificates Attachment 4 CAP Awards Covered By Other Directives 3. Decorations, Ribbons, and Awards That May Be Worn on the CAP Uniform: a. The CAP decorations, ribbons, and badges described herein and wartime service ribbons awarded during the period February 1942-July 1945 may be worn on the CAP uniform in accordance with CAPM 39-1, Civil Air Patrol Uniform Manual. If cadet ribbons are worn by senior members, only the highest cadet program ribbon earned will be worn. Additionally, senior members needing to minimize the number of ribbons worn, may also elect to wear only the highest senior training ribbon earned. Other CAP decorations, ribbons, and badges previously authorized, but not described in this regulation will not be worn. b. Decorations, ribbons, and badges authorized for wear on the US Air Force uniform may be worn on the CAP uniform when earned through qualification and awarded by competent authority to a member for service performed in any branch of the Armed Forces of the United States or its allies. (Foreign decorations, ribbons, badges, etc., awarded in writing to a member not in the Armed Forces of the United States may also be worn if approved by National Headquarters.) Aeronautical badges, emblems, insignia, ribbons, etc., given by a foreign government, or agency, as souvenirs or emblems of friendship do not qualify as earned awards and will not be worn on the CAP uniform. All cases where doubt exists as to the propriety of a badge, medal or other device being worn will be referred to National Headquarters for decision. 4. How Decorations and Ribbons Are Worn. Ribbons are worn immediately above the left breast pocket of coats, jackets, and shirts worn as outer garments. The order of arrangement starting with the top row from the wearer s right to left will be: US military decorations and ribbons, CAP decorations and ribbons, ROTC ribbons, then foreign decorations. US military decorations will be arranged in the order of their established precedence. CAP decorations will be worn in the order of precedence, shown in Attachment 1, ROTC ribbons will be worn in the order of their established precedence, and foreign decorations will be worn in the

order earned. See CAPM 39-1, Chapter 4, for wear policy and correct placement of ribbons on the uniform. 5. Eligibility. A member must be in good standing at the time of the distinguished act and must meet the criteria established for the award. All award recommendations must be submitted within 2 years of the termination date of the act, achievement, or service performed. Next of kin of deceased persons are entitled to receive awards earned but not presented. 6. Repetitive Awards: a. Only one award will be made for a single act of heroism, a single meritorious achievement, or one continuous period of meritorious service. b. Subsequent awards of the same decoration or ribbon are denoted by the CAP bronze clasp, worn on the ribbon of the original award. A CAP silver clasp is equivalent to, and is worn in the place of, five bronze claps. They are illustrated in Attachment 2. 7. CAP Awards Review Board. All commanders (region, wing, group, and squadron) will appoint an awards review board to aid in the administration of this regulation. The awards review board will consist of the personnel officer and two other members designated by the unit commander. The board should meet frequently to assure timely consideration of recommendations received from members of units. The CAP Awards Review Board will review recommendations and propose approval or disapproval to the approving authority. SECTION B - DECORATIONS 8. Authority to Award Decorations: a. Authority to award all decorations listed in this section is vested in the National Executive Committee (NEC). The Chairman of the National Awards Review Board is authorized to approve all decorations for the NEC with the exception of the Silver Medal of Valor and the Distinguished Service Medal which require NEC approval. Announcement of approved decorations is made in personnel actions published by National Headquarters. Additionally: b. Region commanders are authorized to award the Exceptional Service Award, Meritorious Service Award, the Commander s Commendation Award, and the Certificate of Recognition for Lifesaving. These awards may be approved by region commanders for all members of units within their regions. Announcements of such awards will be made in personnel actions published by regional headquarters. c. Wing commanders are authorized to award the Commander s Commendation Award and the Certificate of Recognition for Lifesaving. These awards may be approved by wing commanders for all members of units within their wings. Announcement of such awards will be made in personnel actions published by wing headquarters.

CAPR 39-3 (E)

9. Criteria for Awarding Decorations. The following is the minimum criteria established for the consideration of acts or service for CAP decorations: a. Silver Medal of Valor. Distinguished and conspicuous heroic action, at the risk of life, above and beyond the call of normal duty. b. Bronze Medal of Valor. Distinguished and conspicuous heroic action where danger to self is probable and known. (NOTE: In cases where a member is credited with saving a human life, but where the act does not meet the criteria for the Silver or Bronze Medal of Valor, the member should be recommended for a Certificate of Recognition in accordance with paragraph 9g.) c. Distinguished Service Medal. Conspicuous performance of outstanding service in a duty of great responsibility where the position held and results obtained reflect upon the accomplishments and prestige of CAP on a national scale. Recognition should be for an extremely difficult duty of marked national significance which is performed in a clearly outstanding manner or service which clearly aided CAP in furthering national polices. d. Exceptional Service Award. Exceptionally outstanding service to CAP in a duty of great responsibility while serving in any capacity with CAP. However, the duty should carry the ultimate responsibility for the successful operation of a region, wing, or major project within the region or wing. The discharge of such duty must involve the acceptance and fulfillment of the obligation so as to greatly benefit the wing or region and CAP. e. Meritorious Service Award. Outstanding achievement or meritorious service rendered specifically on behalf of CAP. Superior performance of normal duties does not, in itself, constitute automatic justification for the Meritorious Service Award. Awards should be restricted to the recognition of achievements and services which are clearly outstanding and unmistakably exceptional when compared to similar achievements and accomplishments of personnel of like rank and responsibilities. In instances where many individuals are affiliated with an exceptionally successful program, project, or mission, the Meritorious Service Award should be awarded to the relatively few individuals whose contributions clearly stand out from the others and who have contributed most to the success of the program. f. Commander s Commendation Award. Outstanding duty performance where achievements and services are clearly and unmistakably exceptional when compared to similar achievements and service of members of like rank and responsibility. In instances where several members are affiliated with an exceptionally successful program, project or mission, the Commander s Commendation Award will be awarded only to those who clearly stand out from the others and who contributed most to the success of the program. The Exceptional Service Award and the Meritorious Service Award differ from the Commanders Commendation Award in that they recognize achievements and services significantly above and beyond normal duty performance.

g. Certificate of Recognition for Lifesaving. Awarded to members who save a human life, but do not meet the criteria for the Bronze or Silver Medal of Valor. Members who are credited with a save as a result of participation in a blood or organ transport mission will be awarded the basic ribbon. A silver star will be attached to the ribbon in recognition of lifesaving actions other than blood or organ transport. In either case, the ribbon will be awarded only once. Members who were previously awarded the ribbon for a save other than blood or organ transport should attach a silver star to the ribbon and remove all other devices. All previous criteria and wear instructions no longer apply. h. Unit Citation Award. Exceptionally meritorious service or exceptionally outstanding achievement which clearly sets the unit above and apart from similar units: (1) Recognition of meritorious service should cover a period of at least 12 months in order to permit the recommending authority to consider simultaneously units with related missions, compare all the units within their wing or region, and select the truly outstanding unit meriting the award. (2) Recognition of outstanding achievements intended to recognize a single specific act or notable accomplishment that is separate and distinct from the normal mission or regular function of the unit. The period of an outstanding achievement is normally short and characterized by definite beginning and ending dates. 10. Procedures for Recommending Decorations: a. Who May Initiate Recommendations. Any CAP member having knowledge of an act or service meriting recognition may initiate a recommendation for an award, except that awards concerning commanders must be initiated at a higher command level or by the appointing authority for NEC members. b. How to Initiate Recommendations. Recommendations will be submitted through channels to National Headquarters in two copies on CAP Form 120, Recommendation for Decoration. Extreme care should be exercised to ensure that all items are complete. (1) Justification will be included in the narrative statement and should be specific as to inclusive dates, places, and facts relating to the heroism, achievement, or service. The narrative must clearly portray how the unit s or individual s achievements meet or exceed the criteria set forth in paragraph 9. (2) A proposed citation to accompany the award will be attached if the Silver Medal of Valor, Bronze Medal of Valor, or Distinguished Service Medal is being recommended. (See Attachment 3.) c. Channels: (1) All recommendations for decorations (except the Exceptional Service Award, Meritorious Service Award, National Commander s Commendation Award, and Certificate of Recognition for Lifesaving) will be submitted through channels, to include region headquarters, to National Headquarters.

CAPR 39-3 (E)

(2) Recommendations for the Exceptional Service Award and Meritorious Service Award will be forwarded through channels to the appropriate region commander for approval. (3) Recommendations for the Commander s Commendation Award and Certificate of Recognition for Lifesaving will be forwarded through channels to the appropriate wing or region commander for approval. (4) Each commander in the chain of command must personally approve or disapprove each recommendation for the award of a decoration before forwarding it to the next higher headquarters (unless the recommendation is initiated by higher authority). If a commander disapproves a recommendation, it will be returned through channels to the initiator with the reasons for disapproval. 11. National Headquarters Review Schedule. Recommendations for decorations are reviewed by National Headquarters as they are received. The National Awards Review Board is authorized to approve all decorations for the NEC with the exception of the Silver Medal of Valor and Distinguished Service Medal. NEC approval is required for all Silver Medals of Valor and any Distinguished Service Medal for members other than those being recognized for service as wing or region commanders. 12. Award Elements: a. At the time National Headquarters announces an award, it will forward the appropriate award elements to the proper region or wing commander for presentation to the individual concerned. b. When region commanders announce an award, they will present the appropriate award elements, or forward them to the proper wing commander for presentation to the individual concerned. c. Award elements consist of: (1) The medal and/or ribbon of the decoration in question and the certificate that accompanies the decoration to individuals. (2) Only one Unit Citation Award certificate and streamer will be presented to the unit receiving the award. For example, if an entire group (rather than just the group headquarters) receives the Unit Citation Award, the certificate and streamer will be displayed at group headquarters only; however, all members of the group headquarters and squadrons within that group are authorized to wear the Unit Citation Ribbon. The members of each unit which receive the Unit Citation Award are authorized to wear the Unit Citation Ribbon. This ribbon is not furnished by National Headquarters, but may be purchased from the CAP Bookstore or commercial sources. The Unit Citation Ribbon may be worn permanently by all individuals who were members of the unit during any portion of the period of time shown in the National Headquarters Personnel Action announcing the award. Unit commanders will post the members records to show their eligibility to wear the ribbon.

13. Presentations. Decorations should be presented by the senior officer present on such occasions as region and wing conferences, unit assemblies, etc. Where a citation accompanies an award, the citation should be read immediately preceding the presentation of the medal or ribbon and the award certificate.

Awarded at the end of 2 years (as a cadet or senior member in good standing). (1) First Bronze Clasp. Awarded at the end of 3 additional years (total of 5 years). (2) Additional Bronze Clasps. One additional bronze clasp will be awarded for each

additional 5 years of service. A maximum of three bronze clasps (denoting 15 years of service) will be worn. (3) Longevity Device. A metal number, denoting years of service, awarded at the end of 20 years and in increments of 5 years thereafter. The longevity device is worn centered on the red service ribbon and the bronze clasps are no longer worn. c. Air Search and Rescue Ribbon. Participate actively in at least 10 search and rescue sorties. A bronze clasp is awarded for each additional 10 sorties. All sorties must be in support of an actual search and rescue mission authorized by competent authority. (1) Aircrew Members. A bronze threebladed propeller device will be worn centered on Air Search and Rescue Ribbons earned as aircrew members. Credit will be given for participation in flights as either pilot or observer. (2) Ground Personnel. Credit given will be computed on the basis of time spent on a mission and the nature of the duties performed. (a) Ground personnel performing hazardous duties such as ground rescue or ground search, may be credited with one sortie for each 4 hours of actual participation, but not to exceed three sorties in any 24hour period. (b) Ground personnel performing non-hazardous duties, such as base support or staff functions, may be credited with one sortie for each 8 hours of participation, but not to exceed two sorties for any 24-hour period. (3) Combined Participation. A member who earns the Air Search and Rescue Ribbon as an aircrew member is identified as an aircrew member by having the bronze propeller attached to the ribbon. If the same individuals earn clasps as a ground member of searches or missions, they are authorized to attach the clasps to the same ribbon with the bronze propeller. This applies also to the individual who initially earned the Air Search and Rescue Ribbon as a member of a ground search party and at some later date participates in enough searches as an aircrew member; the member is then authorized to attach the bronze propeller to the ribbon. The first clasp, when awarded to a member with a bronze propeller already on their ribbon, is placed in the middle of the wearer s left-hand side on the ribbon between the edge and the propeller; the second, on the opposite side in the same position. Additional clasps are placed so that the ribbon will have a balanced appearance until a silver clasp replaces five bronze clasps. d. Search Find Ribbon. Awarded by the wing commander (or a subordinate commander if authority is delegated by the wing commander) to any CAP member of the wing making a find (distress or nondistress) on a search and rescue mission. A distress find is defined as one involving downed aircraft or persons in distress. Normally, a definite search objective must have been assigned, located, and positively identified. All other finds will be classified as nondistress, e.g., location of nondistress emergency locator transmitters (ELTs). The

CAPR 39-3 (E)

basic ribbon is awarded for a first find (distress or nondistress). A bronze clasp is awarded for each additional distress find or for each additional 20 nondistress finds. Both aircrew and ground team members may receive credit for finds. Also, if desired, the Search Find Ribbon may be painted on the aircraft in which the find was made. (1) Finds for the United States Coast Guard (USCG) or the USCG Auxiliary. Exceptions to the above criteria may be made for finds accomplished during missions conducted in concert with the USCG or USCG Auxiliary. The bulk, of this joint effort consists of CAP flying patrol missions commonly referred to as sundown patrol. When a CAP member or crew locates a boat or persons in distress and is instrumental in their discovery, credit for a distress find may be granted and a find ribbon awarded, provided the effort is classified as an assist by the USCG. (2) Finds by Aircrew Members. In case of a search and rescue find by aircraft, a ribbon will be awarded to all crew members. This applies to both find and rescue operations and find and report operations. For example, when the search objective is sighted, rescue by aircraft may be impossible so the crew reports the find by relaying the information to an official ground station. A bronze three-bladed propeller device will be worn centered on the Search Find Ribbon earned as aircrew members. (3) Finds by Ground Personnel. If the find is made by search and rescue ground teams, the ribbon will be awarded to all members of the team which locates the objective. Ground personnel will wear the Search Find Ribbon without the propeller clasp. (4) Combined Participation. A member who earns the Search Find Ribbon as an aircrew member is identified as an aircrew member by having the bronze propeller attached to the ribbon. If the same individuals earn a clasp as a ground member who makes a find, they are authorized to attach the clasp to the same ribbon with the bronze propeller. This also applies to the individual who initially earns the Search Find Ribbon as a member of a ground search party and at some later date makes a find as an aircrew member. The member is then authorized to attach the bronze propeller to the ribbon. e. Counterdrug Ribbon. Awarded to senior members for participation in 10 counterdrug sorties. A bronze clasp is awarded for each additional 10 sorties. f. Disaster Relief Ribbon. Awarded for participation in five actual/evaluated disaster relief missions and completion of two of the following requirements: (1) All of the following Red Cross courses: (a) Introduction to Disaster Services: How the Red Cross Chapter Renders Emergency Assistance (b) Disaster Damage Assessment (c) Shelter Management

(2) The Red Cross course, Damage Assessment Supervision in Disaster (3) The Red Cross course, CardioPulmonary Resuscitation and Advanced First Aid (4) Radiological Monitoring for Instructors (5) Radiological Defense Officer Course (6) Airborne Radiological Monitoring Course (7) Participation in other equivalent disaster relief activities totaling at least 40 hours of activity certified by disaster relief agency. This could include any training similar to the above courses and/or actual mission activity (in addition to the five required missions). g. Disaster Relief Ribbon with V Device. The Disaster Relief Ribbon with a V device may be awarded to any CAP member who participates in a disaster relief effort for a Presidential declared disaster. Participation must be verified by the on-scene commander. Participation in any Presidential declared disaster since 1990 qualifies. h. Cadet Orientation Pilot Ribbon. Awarded to members who provide 50 cadet orientation flights. Each cadet receiving credit for the flight, may be counted toward the total of 50. A bronze clasp may be added for each additional 50 flights. i. Cadet Community Service Ribbon. Awarded to cadets who complete 60 hours of community service. The service must be verified by a volunteer coordinator. j. Cadet Advisory Council Ribbon. Awarded to all primary members of each cadet advisory council. The ribbon with appropriate device as indicated below is a permanent cadet activity award. Additionally, a shoulder cord is worn as a means of identifying current CAC members; however, it is worn only during the term of office. (1) Wing Level. Basic ribbon and red shoulder cord. (2) Region Level. Basic ribbon with bronze star and blue shoulder cord. (3) National Level. Basic ribbon with gold star and gold shoulder cord. k. Recruiter Ribbons. Awarded by the unit commander to cadets and senior members in recognition of outstanding efforts to recruit new members for CAP. (1) Cadet Ribbon. Awarded to cadets who recruit two new qualified cadets or senior members for CAP. A bronze clasp is awarded for each additional two members recruited. A silver clasp replaces five bronze clasps. Bronze clasps are not worn after the silver clasp is awarded. An additional silver clasp will be awarded for each additional 10 members recruited. (2) Senior Ribbon. Awarded to senior members who recruit seven new qualified cadets or senior members for CAP. A bronze clasp is awarded for each additional 10 members recruited. A silver clasp replaces five bronze clasps. Bronze clasps are not worn after the silver clasp is awarded. An additional silver clasp is awarded for each additional 50 members recruited. Members recruited as a cadet may be included in

CAPR 39-3 (E)

determining entitlement in the case of senior members who were former cadets. SECTION G - SPECIAL AWARDS AND HONORS 22. Life Member. In recognition of outstanding contributions to CAP, and as one of its highest honors, the National Board may create, a life membership for any member of CAP. The plaque which accompanies the award is normally presented at the annual National Board meeting. 23. Senior Member of the Year. An annual award established to recognize the senior member in all of CAP who has contributed most to the success of CAP s mission. The selection is based on the member s lifetime contributions to CAP, not just the member s accomplishments during the year of nomination. Nominations describing the nominee s accomplishments will be submitted through channels in narrative form according to the timetable established below. Be sure the nomination includes the following information: length of membership, command service, emergency service participation, cadet program participation, aerospace education program participation, personal senior training accomplishments, specialty track accomplishments, individual awards and decorations (including cadet achievements), impact on region/wing programs, impact on national programs, impact on local legislative issues, and impact on national legislative issues. a.

SAMPLE

CITATION TO ACCOMPANY DISTINGUISHED SERVICE MEDAL (FIRST BRONZE CLASP) Colonel John W. Jones, CAP, distinguished himself during the period 9 July 1979 to 20 August 1979 while performing as Encampment Commander at the Blankville Flying Encampment. As Encampment Commander, he was instrumental in the development of an outstanding course curriculum. Throughout the encampment he maintained firm discipline and control, yet preserved a friendly relationship with the cadets. His

leadership greatly contributed to the high morale that prevailed through the encampment. His pre-planning and prompt, continuous follow-up were primarily

responsible for the smooth, efficient operation of all activities. His devotion to duty contributed immeasurably to the success of the National Flying Encampment and brought great credit upon himself and the Civil Air Patrol.
