Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation Ribbon

Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation Ribbon was established by order of the Secretary of the Navy on July 17, 1967. It is awarded in the name of the Secretary of the Navy to units of both the U.S. Navy and United States Marines.

To justify this award, the unit must have performed service of a character comparable to that which would merit the award of a Bronze Star Medal, or achievement of like caliber in a non-combat situation, to an individual.

The Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation ranks below the Navy Unit Commendation.

Additional awards are denoted by bronze and silver service stars.
