Unreferenced date September 2009 A campaign medal is a military decoration which is awarded to a member of the military who serves in a Military operation designated military operation or performs duty in a geographical theater. Campaign medals are very similar to service medal s but carry a higher status as the award usually involves deployment to a foreign region or service in a combat zone. History Campaign medals were first invented to recognize general military service in war, in contrast to meritorious decorations which were only issued on a small scale for acts of heroism and bravery. The first widespread use of campaign medals dates to the era of the Napoleonic Wars when Napoleon Bonaparte ordered a large number of ribbons and medals for issue to the soldiers serving under his command.

Apart from the candidate, they are often a campaign s most visible leader. However, modern campaign managers, particularly at the presidential level, are mostly concerned with executing strategy, not setting it. The senior strategists are typically outside political consulting political consultants , primarily pollsters and media consultants. Particularly for large, well funded campaigns, campaign managers often manage a huge number of Political campaign staff staffers and volunteering volunteers in a variety of departments, while also coordinating closely with the candidate and outside consultants. In the US, increasingly, campaign management has been a speciality occupation. The top tier of managers will move throughout the country working on a different campaign each election cycle. The challenges of building a successful operation from scratch in less than 2 years makes experienced professionals increasingly valuable. In addition to their past experience, experienced campaign managers also bring with them knowledge of campaign management tools and relationships with political consulting political consultants .

Unreferenced date November 2009 A campaign desk is an antique desk of normal size which was used by officers and their staffs in rear areas during a military campaign . The campaign desk was usually the private property of the officer, as was his uniform and other military implements. It was in general handcrafted by a master cabinet maker according to the officer s wishes or following traditions for such desks. The desk forms varied greatly, but nearly all had as a common trait several features which made it easy to transport them from one campaign posting to another. For instance, a campaign desk version of a traditional pedestal desk form would have strong but removable fittings making it easy to break up the desk in three pieces two pedestals and one desktop surface. Each piece would have brass or iron handles mounted on it to facilitate handling. Campaign desk variations of the antique writing table seem to have been rather frequent. This form was usually in one piece, with strong handles and two pairs of folding legs. A smaller version of such a transportable writing table could be considered to be more a field desk than a campaign desk, since it could be moved frequently from one battlefield s rear area to another s as the war went on.
