As TAH reader D indicated<\/a><\/em> in his comments to a recent article, DoD has completed a comprehensive review of military awards and decorations policies.<\/a><\/em>\u00a0\u00a0 A summary listing all the changes to be made as a result of the review can be found here<\/em><\/a>..<\/p>\n

Most of them seem to make at least some sense.\u00a0 However, one of them rather “jumped out” at me when I saw that summary.\u00a0 Check out this change, which apparently will be implemented PDQ (emphasis added):<\/p>\n

19. As the impact of remote operations on combat continues to increase, the necessity of ensuring those actions are distinctly recognized grows. Accordingly,the Department will create a “R” device<\/em> that may be affixed to non-combat performance awards to specifically recognize remote but direct impact on combat operations.<\/p>\n

20. The Department will adopt a common definition of “Direct Impact on Combat Operations” for purposes of recognizing remote impacts on combat operations through award of the “R” device.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you’re thinking that sounds kinda familiar . . . well, if you’re a longtime TAH reader it should.\u00a0 Take a look at this article from somewhat over 2 1\/2 years ago<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Yep.\u00a0 Looks like DoD is implementing my recommendation, whether they realize it or not.<\/p>\n

The 5-sided asylum can give the “R” device whatever formal title they like.\u00a0 But whatever they call it, I claim the vernacular\/common slang “naming rights” to it.\u00a0 It’s the REMF device.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
