The DHS Outstanding Unit Award is a peacetime unit award that may be awarded to military commands of the United States Coast Guard. The decoration was first created in 2021 by former Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf and is presented to members of any Coast Guard unit that distinguishes itself by meritorious action and operational impact, not involving combat, but in support of Coast Guard operations. [2]

It may also be awarded to units and personnel of the other U.S. armed forces, typically when in support of operations where the Coast Guard is the lead service.

The United States Coast Guard and Coast Guard Auxiliary have been awarded the DHS Outstanding Unit Award one time:

  1. January 11, 2021—For outstanding service during multiple hurricanes, the national response at the Southwest Border, and the COVID 19 global pandemic for the period of Aug. 25, 2017, through Nov. 30, 2020. [3] [4]
