Scope & Eligibility
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 E-2 (PVT) to E-4 (SPC). A non-commissioned officer (NCO) is defined as any member over the rank of CPL (E-4)/WO1 (W-1), 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.

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 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.
