Unreferenced date September 2009 A service medal is a military award generally of the lowest degree. A service medal 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 service medal 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 service medal is blanket awarded to everyone in the military regardless of campaign credit. USA An example of a service medal currently issued by the United States armed forces is the National Defense Service Medal which is presently automatically awarded to a service member upon their first day of Active Duty.
