The Armed Forces Reserve Medal (AFRM) is a prestigious U.S. service medal that acknowledges the unwavering dedication and commitment of members of the Armed Forces Reserve Components. Established by Executive Order 10163 on September 25, 1950, this medal serves as a successor to the Naval Reserve Medal and the Marine Corps Reserve Ribbon, which were phased out in 1958 and 1965, respectively. The AFRM is awarded to both officers and enlisted personnel of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard Reserve Components who have completed 10 years or more of honorable and satisfactory service, or have engaged in qualifying mobilization service. This ribbon is an essential piece for those who have demonstrated long-term commitment to their reserve duties.

Compatibility and Use: This ribbon is suitable for display on uniforms of eligible reserve members and serves as a testament to their honorable service. It is an ideal addition for collectors of military memorabilia or for those seeking to complete their service ribbon collection.
