=Chapter 1: Awards and Decorations=
 +
This document describes the guidelines, processes, and policy for awards and decorations awarded to members of the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment (7CAV). It provides principles of support, standards of service, policies, tasks, rules, steps, and classifications governing all work required in the field to support the process of issuing a medal or decoration to a member in the Regiment.

=Purpose of Awards=

==Responsibilities==
−
Awards and Decorations are more commonly referred to as Medals and Ribbons. They are one of the ways we recognize service and personal accomplishment while a member of the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment. Together with other badges of rank and insignia in the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment, they are an outward display highlighting the members achievements and contributions throughout their career with us.
 
  
 +
# The Regimental Command Staff (Regimental Commanding Officer and Executive Officer) will serve as the senior officials on matters concerning awards and decorations, and will provide supervision of policy formulation, procedures, goals, systems, and standards.
 +
# The Regimental Chief of Staff (COS) or their designate will be responsible for the execution and implementation of this regulation within the Regiment. Furthermore, the COS will supervise the processes described in this document. The Regimental Commanding Officer will serve as the final approval authority for all awards and decorations.
 +
 +
=Chapter 2: Principles and Standards=
 +
 +
==Principles of Support==
 +
The General Staff will provide a centralized process for the policies and procedures for the recommendation, approval, and processing of awards and decorations awarded to members of the 7th Cavalry Regiment.
 +
 +
This regulation will define:
 +
# The medals and decorations available to be awarded to members of the 7th Cavalry Regiment and their respective guidelines.
 +
# The procedures involved with making a recommendation that a member, or unit be given an award or decoration.
 +
## This will include who is authorized to make a recommendation for an award or decoration.
 +
# The process by which an award or decoration is recorded in a member's permanent record (MILPACS).
 +
 +
==Standards of Service==
 +
The standards of service are as follows:
 +
# Awards and decorations are provided to highlight the achievements of an individual member or unit.
 +
## While the Regiment provides guidelines for each award or decoration available, some awards are subjective in nature. An action considered heroic or valorous by one person may not necessarily be considered so by another.
 +
## The Regimental Commanding Officer will serve as the final approval authority on all awards and decorations.
 +
## Any General Grade Officer or the Regimental Command Sergeant Major may award a member an award or decoration on their prerogative.
 +
# Any member in the 7th Cavalry may recommend another member for an award or decoration with the following exceptions:
 +
## The member making the recommendation must outrank the member for whom they make the recommendation by billet. For example, a section member (Trooper) cannot make a recommendation to award his Section Leader, or anyone else above him in the [[Chain of Command]].
 +
## Recommendations must be made in person, meaning one member may not submit a recommendation on behalf of another.
 +
 +
=Chapter 3: Policy=
 +
 +
==List of Awards==
 +
All awards and decorations available to be awarded to a member of the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment are listed in Chapter 5 through Chapter 14 of this document.
 +
 +
==Description of Awards==
 +
The description for each award will serve as a guideline to earn the award. Some awards are subjective and approval is based on the view of the approval authority as they understand the information provided in the medal recommendation.
 +
 +
==The Recommendation Process==
 +
 +
# If a member wishes to make a medal recommendation for award they must submit their recommendation in writing using the allocated forum location for that purpose and the citation templates listed below. All members can submit a medal recommendation by submitting a  [https://7cav.us/tickets/categories/18/create medal recommendation ticket] on our forums.
 +
## Recommendations must be detailed. They must tell the story of the incident or action being recognized as well as provide the names of any witnesses to the action being recognized. This is not the same thing as the “Citation” which will appear on the award itself, but must provide enough information for the approval authority to make an informed decision.
 +
## A summary of the information provided should be crafted in the Citation to be included with the award.
 +
## To this end, the citation templates below are designed to accomplish the above goals so must be used.
 +
# One recommendation post is made per award. If you wish to recommend 10 awards, you must make 10 recommendation posts.
 +
## This does not apply to statutory awards such as Good Conduct Medals, Weapon Qualifications, and Skill Badges.
 +
## Unit award recommendations should include all individuals in the unit being awarded.
 +
## A single post may be made for multiple people receiving the same award for the same action or where the citation does not change.
 +
## This does not apply to officially recognized medal packages, such as "Of the Quarter" and "of the Year" award packages.
 +
 +
==Medal Recommendation Policy==
 +
Criteria for recommending a medal:
 +
*Write up a medal recommendation for each individual member. Unless otherwise specified above, one citation for all members is prohibited.
 +
*Use only the provided templates below.
 +
*In the header for the medal recommendation you should have a picture of the medal, the name of the medal, the recommendee's full rank, first name, and last name '''that is linked to the member's MILPACS''', and optionally adding that it’s a, "Medal recommendation and not a reward". The header and recommendation must be centered.
 +
*The recommendation section of each medal must be adhered to for approval.
 +
*Recommendations should be as detailed as possible and without spelling or grammatical errors.
 +
*To reduce exceedingly large citations, a "Justification" section will be required and if the citation exceeds roughly 1,500 characters in length, it may have to be shortened by the submitter for it to fit.
 +
**This "Justification" section is to be included with each medal recommendation to further elaborate what happened to aid the approval authority in reviewing the recommendation.
 +
 +
==Authority on Combat Medal Recommendations==
 +
All medal recommendations must be produced by an individual who is of a higher billet and witnessed the event themselves.  For official operations, S3 mission makers and temporarily made operation titles and/or billets do not supersede primary 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment billeting (see the [[Billets]] SOP for more info on billets).  It is the responsibility of the operation's Officer-In-Charge (OIC) to make sure all medal recommendations are being adhered to by the author of the medal, accounted for, and produced by their authors within one week of the After Action Report (AAR) posting. For more information on AAR policy, please see [https://wiki.7cav.us/wiki/S3_Department_-_Standard_Operating_Procedures#After_Action_Reports After Action Reports].
 +
 +
'''Members of a lower or equal billet may recommend their superiors for combat medals under the following conditions:'''
 +
 +
*The member making the recommendation must obtain 3 independent statements from three separate members who witnessed the combat actions or event for which is the inspiration of the award recommendation.
 +
*The operation's OIC must be willing to sign off on the recommendation, and accept the consequences should a recommendation turn out to be fraudulent.
 +
 +
'''Another member may post a medal recommendation on behalf of someone else who is of a lesser billet under the following conditions:'''
 +
 +
*They credit in the Justification portion the original author of the recommendation linking their MILPAC and declaring that they have signed off on the recommendation.
 +
*The member posting the recommendation is to make sure to adjust the recommendation, if needed, to meet and maintain the current standards for that medal's criteria.
 +
*The member posting the recommendation takes full responsibility for the recommendation regardless of the outcome or if the recommendation should turn out to be fraudulent.

While the Regimental Chief of Staff is charged with overseeing the execution and implementation of our medal policies, the General Staff all serve as approval authorities for any medal recommendation, along with their designates.  The General Staff upon unanimous approval, maintains the right to award any medal to any person for any reason (with exception of the Lifetime Achievement Medals to be solely awarded by the Regimental Commanding Officer).
 +
 +
=Chapter 4: Purpose of Awards and Decorations=
 +
Awards and decorations are more commonly referred to as medals and ribbons. They are one of the ways we recognize service and personal accomplishment while a member of the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment. Together with other badges of rank and insignia in the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment, they are an outward display highlighting the member's achievements and contributions throughout their career.
  
 
Visual identification is something we naturally rely on, but largely take for granted. In a virtual community, this basic human ability is missing by default. We address this through forum avatars, forum signatures, and MILPACS service jackets to display each member's rank, billet, awards, and qualifications. It helps to fill the void of intuitive recognition that would otherwise be present in face to face interactions.

The 7th Cavalry Regiment has an official challenge coin, often referred to unofficially as the "cav coin" or "cavalry challenge coin".

 +
 
 +
Anyone who re-enlists must serve an additional six months before being eligible to be awarded the coin. Anyone who wishes to be awarded the coin must submit their address to the Regimental Commanding Officer so that it can be mailed to them.

=Chapter 17: "Of the Quarter" Awards=
 +
Each Battalion will reward the performance of enlisted, NCO's, and officers with an "of the Quarter" award system based on merit and service within the past quarter.  At the end of every quarter, the selection for service awards are proposed and approved by the appropriate authorities which are detailed below.
 +
 +
At each level, staff may choose appropriate members to be the recipient of an award. A higher level of staff does not need to choose from the pool of already selected recipients. All those within the Battalion are eligible at the discretion of the appropriate level of staff selecting them.  An enlisted member is defined as any member at the ranks of PVT (E-2) to SPC (E-4), regardless of billet.  A non-commissioned officer (NCO) is defined as any member over the rank of CPL (E-4)/WO1 (W-1) to SGM (E-9)/CW5 (W-5), regardless of billet.  An officer is defined as any member over the rank of 2LT (O-1).
 +
 +
==Platoon Level==
 +
Platoon Staff may select one enlisted to be awarded from within their platoon.  Their selection must be passed on to Company Staff.
 +
 +
==Company Level==
 +
Company Staff may select one enlisted and one NCO to be awarded.  Both their selection and platoons' selection must be passed on to Battalion Staff.
 +
 +
==Battalion Level==
 +
Battalion Staff may select one enlisted, NCO, and officer to be awarded. Battalion Staff is responsible for the approval and posting of ALL awards within the Battalion before the end of the first week of the new quarter.
 +
 +
==Raising Awards==
 +
If they so desire, Company or Battalion Staff may choose an already selected recipient. By doing this they elevate the award that is being given to the recipient to the level of staff awarding them.
 +
 +
==Procedure==
 +
All award proposals should be submitted to Battalion Staff via forum PM within the final week of the quarter. By the end of the first week in the new quarter, all awards must be approved and posted by Battalion Staff in one medal package as a [https://7cav.us/tickets/categories/18/create medal recommendation ticket]. Awards at the end of the year may have a different deadline due to [https://wiki.7cav.us/wiki/Furlough_Policy Furlough].

THIS DOCUMENT MAY NOT BE EDITED WITHOUT GENERAL STAFF APPROVAL


Chapter 1: Awards and Decorations

This document describes the guidelines, processes, and policy for awards and decorations awarded to members of the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment (7CAV). It provides principles of support, standards of service, policies, tasks, rules, steps, and classifications governing all work required in the field to support the process of issuing a medal or decoration to a member in the Regiment.

Responsibilities

  1. The Regimental Command Staff (Regimental Commanding Officer and Executive Officer) will serve as the senior officials on matters concerning awards and decorations, and will provide supervision of policy formulation, procedures, goals, systems, and standards.
  2. The Regimental Chief of Staff (COS) or their designate will be responsible for the execution and implementation of this regulation within the Regiment. Furthermore, the COS will supervise the processes described in this document. The Regimental Commanding Officer will serve as the final approval authority for all awards and decorations.

Chapter 2: Principles and Standards

Principles of Support

The General Staff will provide a centralized process for the policies and procedures for the recommendation, approval, and processing of awards and decorations awarded to members of the 7th Cavalry Regiment.

This regulation will define:

  1. The medals and decorations available to be awarded to members of the 7th Cavalry Regiment and their respective guidelines.
  2. The procedures involved with making a recommendation that a member, or unit be given an award or decoration.
    1. This will include who is authorized to make a recommendation for an award or decoration.
  3. The process by which an award or decoration is recorded in a member's permanent record (MILPACS).

Standards of Service

The standards of service are as follows:

  1. Awards and decorations are provided to highlight the achievements of an individual member or unit.
    1. While the Regiment provides guidelines for each award or decoration available, some awards are subjective in nature. An action considered heroic or valorous by one person may not necessarily be considered so by another.
    2. The Regimental Commanding Officer will serve as the final approval authority on all awards and decorations.
    3. Any General Grade Officer or the Regimental Command Sergeant Major may award a member an award or decoration on their prerogative.
  2. Any member in the 7th Cavalry may recommend another member for an award or decoration with the following exceptions:
    1. The member making the recommendation must outrank the member for whom they make the recommendation by billet. For example, a section member (Trooper) cannot make a recommendation to award his Section Leader, or anyone else above him in the Chain of Command.
    2. Recommendations must be made in person, meaning one member may not submit a recommendation on behalf of another.

Chapter 3: Policy

List of Awards

All awards and decorations available to be awarded to a member of the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment are listed in Chapter 5 through Chapter 14 of this document.

Description of Awards

The description for each award will serve as a guideline to earn the award. Some awards are subjective and approval is based on the view of the approval authority as they understand the information provided in the medal recommendation.

The Recommendation Process

  1. If a member wishes to make a medal recommendation for award they must submit their recommendation in writing using the allocated forum location for that purpose and the citation templates listed below. All members can submit a medal recommendation by submitting a medal recommendation ticket on our forums.
    1. Recommendations must be detailed. They must tell the story of the incident or action being recognized as well as provide the names of any witnesses to the action being recognized. This is not the same thing as the “Citation” which will appear on the award itself, but must provide enough information for the approval authority to make an informed decision.
    2. A summary of the information provided should be crafted in the Citation to be included with the award.
    3. To this end, the citation templates below are designed to accomplish the above goals so must be used.
  2. One recommendation post is made per award. If you wish to recommend 10 awards, you must make 10 recommendation posts.
    1. This does not apply to statutory awards such as Good Conduct Medals, Weapon Qualifications, and Skill Badges.
    2. Unit award recommendations should include all individuals in the unit being awarded.
    3. A single post may be made for multiple people receiving the same award for the same action or where the citation does not change.
    4. This does not apply to officially recognized medal packages, such as "Of the Quarter" and "of the Year" award packages.

Medal Recommendation Policy

Criteria for recommending a medal:

  • Write up a medal recommendation for each individual member. Unless otherwise specified above, one citation for all members is prohibited.
  • Use only the provided templates below.
  • In the header for the medal recommendation you should have a picture of the medal, the name of the medal, the recommendee's full rank, first name, and last name that is linked to the member's MILPACS, and optionally adding that it’s a, "Medal recommendation and not a reward". The header and recommendation must be centered.
  • The recommendation section of each medal must be adhered to for approval.
  • Recommendations should be as detailed as possible and without spelling or grammatical errors.
  • To reduce exceedingly large citations, a "Justification" section will be required and if the citation exceeds roughly 1,500 characters in length, it may have to be shortened by the submitter for it to fit.
    • This "Justification" section is to be included with each medal recommendation to further elaborate what happened to aid the approval authority in reviewing the recommendation.

Authority on Combat Medal Recommendations

All medal recommendations must be produced by an individual who is of a higher billet and witnessed the event themselves. For official operations, S3 mission makers and temporarily made operation titles and/or billets do not supersede primary 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment billeting (see the Billets SOP for more info on billets). It is the responsibility of the operation's Officer-In-Charge (OIC) to make sure all medal recommendations are being adhered to by the author of the medal, accounted for, and produced by their authors within one week of the After Action Report (AAR) posting. For more information on AAR policy, please see After Action Reports.

Members of a lower or equal billet may recommend their superiors for combat medals under the following conditions:

  • The member making the recommendation must obtain 3 independent statements from three separate members who witnessed the combat actions or event for which is the inspiration of the award recommendation.
  • The operation's OIC must be willing to sign off on the recommendation, and accept the consequences should a recommendation turn out to be fraudulent.

Another member may post a medal recommendation on behalf of someone else who is of a lesser billet under the following conditions:

  • They credit in the Justification portion the original author of the recommendation linking their MILPAC and declaring that they have signed off on the recommendation.
  • The member posting the recommendation is to make sure to adjust the recommendation, if needed, to meet and maintain the current standards for that medal's criteria.
  • The member posting the recommendation takes full responsibility for the recommendation regardless of the outcome or if the recommendation should turn out to be fraudulent.

The Brigadier General Krazee Lifetime Achievement Medal and CSM Ronnie "Coldblud" Bussey Lifetime Achievement Medal are awarded outside the normal process for medals. A member can only ever receive one of these medals as they signify a "Lifetime" of achievement.

They are awarded solely at the discretion of the Regimental Commanding Officer.

Documentation of Awards and Decorations

  2. Once a recommendation is approved it is to be processed according to established S1 processes and procedures.

The General Staff reserves the right to make exceptions to this policy when deemed in the best interest of the 7th Cavalry Regiment as a whole. Such an exception requires the unanimous decision of the General Staff.

Medal Recommendation Submission Titles

All medal recommendation posts will be made with a standard naming convention. The general format shall be "Medal Recommendation - Department/Unit/Operation/Statutory - Medal Name (Abbreviated) - RNK.Last.F

Regimental Approval Authority

While the Regimental Chief of Staff is charged with overseeing the execution and implementation of our medal policies, the General Staff all serve as approval authorities for any medal recommendation, along with their designates. The General Staff upon unanimous approval, maintains the right to award any medal to any person for any reason (with exception of the Lifetime Achievement Medals to be solely awarded by the Regimental Commanding Officer).

Chapter 4: Purpose of Awards and Decorations

Awards and decorations are more commonly referred to as medals and ribbons. They are one of the ways we recognize service and personal accomplishment while a member of the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment. Together with other badges of rank and insignia in the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment, they are an outward display highlighting the member's achievements and contributions throughout their career.

Visual identification is something we naturally rely on, but largely take for granted. In a virtual community, this basic human ability is missing by default. We address this through forum avatars, forum signatures, and MILPACS service jackets to display each member's rank, billet, awards, and qualifications. It helps to fill the void of intuitive recognition that would otherwise be present in face to face interactions.

Chapter 5: The 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment Military Challenge Coin

The obverse of the 7th Cavalry coin

The 7th Cavalry Regiment has an official challenge coin, often referred to unofficially as the "cav coin" or "cavalry challenge coin". Because this is a real, physical coin awarded to members, it has several special criteria and characteristics. The coin was first commissioned in 2018 by Command Sergeant Major (Retired) Jon Argus

Criteria For Awarding

  • The administrators of the coin disbursement will be the General Staff. The coins will be disbursed as follows:
    • One coin per person, ever.

They are awarded for:

  • To any member with 3 years cumulative service or more; or
  • As spot awards for outstanding contributions to the Cav. Recommended by Chain of Command or Department OIC; or
  • As competition rewards; or
  • For special requests from the General Staff for one-off situations; or
  • To anyone attending real-life meetups.

The coin is considered a special item, intended to provide a thank-you to members who have made a significant impact or contribution to the health and welfare of the Regiment. They will not be devalued by being distributed en-masse.

Anyone who re-enlists must serve an additional six months before being eligible to be awarded the coin. Anyone who wishes to be awarded the coin must submit their address to the Regimental Commanding Officer so that it can be mailed to them.

Chapter 17: "Of the Quarter" Awards

Each Battalion will reward the performance of enlisted, NCO's, and officers with an "of the Quarter" award system based on merit and service within the past quarter. At the end of every quarter, the selection for service awards are proposed and approved by the appropriate authorities which are detailed below.

At each level, staff may choose appropriate members to be the recipient of an award. A higher level of staff does not need to choose from the pool of already selected recipients. All those within the Battalion are eligible at the discretion of the appropriate level of staff selecting them. An enlisted member is defined as any member at the ranks of PVT (E-2) to SPC (E-4), regardless of billet. A non-commissioned officer (NCO) is defined as any member over the rank of CPL (E-4)/WO1 (W-1) to SGM (E-9)/CW5 (W-5), regardless of billet. An officer is defined as any member over the rank of 2LT (O-1).

Platoon Level

Platoon Staff may select one enlisted to be awarded from within their platoon. Their selection must be passed on to Company Staff.

Company Level

Company Staff may select one enlisted and one NCO to be awarded. Both their selection and platoons' selection must be passed on to Battalion Staff.

Battalion Level

Battalion Staff may select one enlisted, NCO, and officer to be awarded. Battalion Staff is responsible for the approval and posting of ALL awards within the Battalion before the end of the first week of the new quarter.

Raising Awards

If they so desire, Company or Battalion Staff may choose an already selected recipient. By doing this they elevate the award that is being given to the recipient to the level of staff awarding them.

Procedure

All award proposals should be submitted to Battalion Staff via forum PM within the final week of the quarter. By the end of the first week in the new quarter, all awards must be approved and posted by Battalion Staff in one medal package as a medal recommendation ticket. Awards at the end of the year may have a different deadline due to Furlough.
