Reserve Special Commendation Ribbon
- Reserve Special Commendation Ribbon
The Reserve Special Commendation Ribbon was a decoration of the United States Navy which was authorized for issuance between the years of 1930 and 1941. The ribbon was established by order of Secretary of the Navy James V. Forrestal.
The Reserve Special Commendation Ribbon was issued to any officer of the Naval Reserve who had commanded a Naval Reserve Battalion for a period exceeding four years. To be eligible for the Reserve Special Commendation Ribbon, an officer must also have served greater than ten years in the Naval Reserve as a whole.
The decoration was issued as a one time only award and there were no devices authorized for additional awards of the Reserve Special Commendation Ribbon. The Reserve Special Commendation Ribbon was discontinued on December 7, 1941 in light of the massive expansion and call-up of reserves for duty in the Second World War.
