Open Awards Writer →What Makes a Strong Award Citation?
Per AR 600-8-22, a citation should be specific, quantified, and matched to the threshold of achievement for the award level:
- Army Achievement Medal (AAM) — for meritorious service or acts of achievement of a lesser degree than required for the ARCOM.
- Army Commendation Medal (ARCOM) — for sustained meritorious service or an act of heroism, meritorious achievement, or meritorious service.
- Meritorious Service Medal (MSM) — for outstanding meritorious service, typically tied to a permanent change of station or end of a key assignment.
