Armed Forces Service Medal
Armed Forces Service Medal

Die Armed Forces Service Medal ist eine Dienstauszeichnung der US-Streitkräfte. Sie wurde Anfang 1996 von US-Präsident Bill Clinton eingeführt und wird verliehen an Mitglieder der US-Streitkräfte, die eine „signifikante Leistung“ (significant activity) erbringen, für die keine andere Auszeichnung verliehen wurde. Darunter wird für gewöhnlich die Beteiligung an einer Operation der US-Streitkräfte, auch im Rahmen eines NATO- oder UN-Mandats, verstanden.

Verleihungen umfassen vor allem die Operationen Bosnienkrieges, aber auch für humanitäre Missionen nach Hurrikan Katrina und Hurrikan Rita.
