Hello all. I understand that the Homeland Security Award recently added is now eligible to be awarded to any member of the military, but the decoration itself is clearly classified as a civilian award ( Department of Homeland Security) which is awarded to military service members. Per DoD regs, the definition of an inter-service military award is "a decoration created by the Department of Defense which is presented to all five branches of the military through the same eligibility requirements". Between the lines, the award also should not have the name of one of the branches as part of the title, i.e. "Army Commendation Medal" - even through the ARCOM can be awarded to other branches of the military, it is still not an inter-service award.
Back to this topic, a good comparison would be the NASA Space Flight Medal and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. They too are awarded to all military branches but are not inter-service military awards. -15:17, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
(added): Looked at the regs again on this - it has a weird standing as a civilian award only awarded to military personnel. Maybe put it in the War on Terrorism section to clarify its not a Coast Guard decoration accidentally added to the article? (that's what I first thought) - OberRanks ( talk) 15:21, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
Award has been moved down into the War on Terror section to clarify its status as an inter-service award for all five branches engaged in the conflict. I think that's where it should be. - OberRanks ( talk) 15:26, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
