Operational Service Medal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It has been suggested that OSM Afghanistan,OSM Democratic Republic of Congo,OSM Sierra Leone be merged into this article or section. (Discuss)

The new Operational Service Medal (OSM) was introduced on 1 January 2000 and at the same time the General Service Medal (GSM) was discontinued, with the exception of the award of the GSM for Northern Ireland.

[edit] Awards

Since its introduction, three OSMs have been issued: for service in Sierra Leone, Afghanistan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Although each OSM will look the same, separate ribbons will denote each separate award.

[edit] Clasps

A Clasp may be awarded with the OSM to signify service in a more dangerous area or period of conflict.
