Army of Cuban Pacification Medal

Army of Cuban Pacification Medal

The Army of Cuban Pacification Medal is a military award of the United States Army which was created by orders of the United States War Department on May 11 1909. The medal was created to recognize service during the withdrawal of the United States military presence in Cuba as an aftermath of the Spanish-American War.

To be awarded the Army of Cuban Pacification Medal, a service member was required to serve in the United States occupation force, garrisoned on the island of Cuba between the dates of October 6, 1906 and April 1, 1909.

There was no time limit required for presentation of the award, and a service member could technically receive the Army of Cuban Pacification Medal for only a few days of service.

A similar decoration, known as the Army of Cuban Occupation Medal, also existed for those who had served in the initial occupation of Cuba after the Spanish-American war.
