Army Reserve Component Achievement Award box set consist of the large medal and ribbon mounted inside the presentation box.
The Army Reserve Components Achievement Medal, was created in 1972 and was originally awarded for four years of honorable service as an active member of a unit in the Army Reserve or the National Guard with additional awards denoted by oak leaf clusters. Beginning 28 March 1995, the period of qualifying service for the award was reduced from four years to three years, however, the change was not retroactive.
If an enlisted soldier enters the Active Guard Reserve program and begins serving on federal status full time, they cease to become eligible for the Army Reserve Components Achievement Medal but become eligible for the regular Army Good Conduct Medal instead. If the enlisted Soldier leaves the AGR program before earning an Army Good Conduct Medal, they may retain eligibility for the Army Reserve Components Achievement Medal if they completed at least two of the three years required. However, any break in service greater than 24 hours will forfeit all time earned.
The Army Reserve Components Achievement Medal may awarded to all enlisted soldiers, warrant officers, and commissioned officers in the grade of Colonel or below.
