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
