Commander's Citation



If a particular individual merits the positive attention of one of his superiors, often times a High Command citation is in order. The hierarchy of the awards is quite simple: the higher the rank of the person who presents the award, the more prestigious it is. These citations come with service ribbons, and are awarded specifically for exceptional or meritorious service in fulfilling one's role in the military.

The Commander's Citation are usually presented by a direct superior: squadron commander, gunnery commander, platoon leader, etc.
