Army National Guard Medal Washington

Description

Army National Guard Medal Washington
Awards and decorations of the National Guard
are presented to members of the
United States National Guard
and sometimes to members of the
state defense forces
in addition to regular
United States military decorations
. Each of the
state governments
of the
United States
maintains a series of military decorations for issuance to members of the
National Guard
, with such awards presented under the authority of the various
state adjutants general
.
Those National Guard soldiers who subsequently serve in the active or reserve federal forces of the
United States Army
,
Navy
,
Marine Corps
,
Coast Guard
, or
United States Air Force
(i.e., as active duty or reserve members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard) may not continue to wear and display such decorations on a military uniform, unless such activation is under Title 32 status. Active duty regulations allow federal soldiers to accept but not to wear state awards.
Most states authorize the wear of other states' awards if a soldier has earned awards from a state or territory to which he or she is not presently assigned. The order of precedence is typically the presently assigned state, followed by awards from the
District of Columbia
, then other states by their
order of admission
.
