Coast Guard Reserve Good Conduct Medal

Initially established as the Coast Guard Reserve Meritorious Service ribbon, this award was renamed and authorized as the Coast Guard REserve Good Conduct Medal on September 3, 1981. Awarded on a selective basis to enlisted personnel of the Coast Guard Reserve on inactive duty who fulfill with distinction the obligations of inactive Reservists. The service required is similar to that for the Coast Guard Good Conduct Medal for active duty personnel of the U.S. Coast Guard.
