Global War on Terrorism Service Medal Ribbon
Ribbon unit for the Global War on Terrorism Service award. Individually priced.
The Global War on Terrorism Service Medal (GWOT-SM) is a military award of the United States Armed Forces which was created through Executive Order 13289 on 12 March 2003, by President George W. Bush. The medal recognizes those military service members who have supported operations to counter terrorism in the War on Terror from 11 September 2001, to a date yet to be determined.
From its creation in March 2003 through September 2022, the GWOT-SM was a quasi-automatically awarded medal similar to the National Defense Service Medal (NDSM). The GWOT-SM was awarded for the broadly defined criterion of "support duty" to nearly all service members after thirty days of post-entry training active service. However, effective September 11, 2022, the GWOT-SM is now awarded to service members only serving in the area of effect for approved campaigns related to the Global War on Terrorism.
