Unreferenced date September 2009 A servicemedal is a military award generally of the lowest degree. A servicemedal is awarded to a member of the military who joins the military, or is already serving, during a designated time period. No other requirement is needed to obtain the servicemedal other than a person must simply be a member of the armed forces. Campaign medal Campaign medal s are similar to service medals and are sometimes even referred to as service medals , however the main difference is that a campaign medal is awarded to a military member who participates in a military operation whereas a servicemedal is blanket awarded to everyone in the military regardless of campaign credit. USA An example of a servicemedal currently issued by the UnitedStates armed forces is the National Defense ServiceMedal which is presently automatically awarded to a service member upon their first day of Active Duty. The Global War on Terrorism ServiceMedal is another decoration which is presently awarded to any active duty member of the UnitedStates military who has served after the September 11 attacks after 30 consecutive days of service at a permanent duty station.
