ALCON,

Effective with this posting the following changes will go into effect.

• The Womens' Army Corp Service medal will no longer be issued

Immediate Impact

• Members who already have this award will retain it on their MILPACS
• Members who have this award and would like to have it removed, can submit an S1 ticket. Note, S1 will not make any change to remove the medal from a service record without end-user request via Ticket system.

Future Considerations

• Impact should be minor in terms of ongoing activities.
• S1 may see some ( minor ) additional work, if any recipients of the award request to have it removed ( only via the ticket system ).

Background

• This is a result of the debate / discussion earlier this year regarding this medal, it's origins, and suitabilty for inclusion in the Cavalry.
• The cause for origin of the medal, which hasn't been issued by the Army since 1945, is obselete as the Army is no longer segregated by gender.

Regards,

the COS
