Awards and decorations of the United States Armed Forces are the military awards including decorations which recognize service and personal accomplishments while a member of the U.S. military. Together with military badges, such awards are a means to display outwardly the highlights of a service member's career. ==Order of precedence== While each service has its own order of precedence, the following general rules typically apply to all services: # U.S. military personal decorations # U.S. military unit awards # U.S. non-military personal decorations (in order of receipt; if from the same agency, the applicable agency precedence listing should be consulted) # U.S. non-military unit awards # U.S. military campaign and service medals # U.S. military service and training awards (ribbon-only awards) # U.S. Merchant Marine awards and non-military service awards # Foreign military personal decorations # Foreign military unit awards # International decorations & service medals (e.g., United Nations, NATO, etc.) # Foreign military service awards # Marksmanship awards (Air Force, Navy & Coast Guard) # State awards of the National Guard (Army & Air Force only) Note's on branch-specific exceptions to the above: * Unit awards are worn as a separate grouping, on the right side of the uniform, in the U.S. Army. * Some awards, despite being ribbon-only, are higher in precedence. The Navy & Coast Guard Combat Action Ribbons and the Coast Guard's Commandant's Letter of Commendation Ribbon are included with personal decorations, while two Air Force ribbon-only awards (the Outstanding Airman of the Year Ribbon & the Air Force Recognition Ribbon) are considered in the same category as service medals. * Marksmanship Awards in the Air Force are considered training awards. The Army and Marines issue Marksmanship Qualification Badges instead of Marksmanship awards. * The obsolete Philippine Commonwealth service awards (Philippine Defense, Liberation, & Independence Medals), when still listed in the order of precedence, come before the United Nations medals (Army & Marine Corp〔(Marine uniform regulations ) section 5103, subsection 12, page 5-9〕) or before the Merchant Marine awards (Air Force). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Awards and decorations of the United States Armed Forces」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
