This is awarded by the Chief of Staff, AFP to officers of the Armed Forces of the Philippines for eminently meritorious and valuable service rendered in a position of major responsibility.

The performance of duty should be exceptional. A superior performance of duties normal to the grade, branch, specialty of assignment, and experience of an individual is not adequate basis for this award.

Accordingly, the accomplishments of the duty should have been completed prior to submitting a recommendation, or a person being recommended has been transferred prior to completion, the accomplishment must have progressed to what may clearly be determined to be exceptional or significant.
