Fleet Marine Force Ribbon
- Fleet Marine Force Ribbon
The Fleet Marine Force Ribbon (1984-2006) is an obsolete decoration of the United States Navy which was established in 1984 by Secretary of the Navy John F. Lehman, Jr. The Fleet Marine Force Ribbon was awarded to any member of the Navy who completes twelve months of duty with the Fleet Marine Force.
Before the ribbon may be awarded, a written exam was administered to test specific professional skills, knowledge and military experience which are required for members of the Fleet Marine Force. The Fleet Marine Force Ribbon may be worn for the remainder of a recipient’s military career.
Members of the Naval Reserve are also eligible for the Fleet Marine Force Ribbon, provided that a total of twenty four cumulative months is served during which time satisfactory drill attendance is maintained. The written exam for Naval Reserve members is also slightly different than the examination administered to active duty personnel.
Each individual may only be awarded The Fleet Marine Force Ribbon once.
Effective October 1, 2006, the Navy FMF Ribbon is obsolete as a result of the creation of the Fleet Marine Force Qualified Officer Insignia and Fleet Marine Force Enlisted Warfare Specialist Insignia programs.
