Navy Expeditionary Medal Ribbon

 The Navy Expeditionary Medal (NEM) is a commendation bestowed by the United States Navy to honor members who have landed on foreign shores and engaged in operations against enemy forces. Eligibility may extend to those who served in missions deemed worthy of the award by a competent authority. It has retroactive eligibility dating back to February 12, 1874. Notably, the Navy Expedition Medal and the Armed Forces Expedition Medal cannot be awarded for the same event, and service members qualifying for both must choose their preferred medal. Additional awards are indicated by Service Stars affixed to the award ribbon.
