Like other medals however, the Silver Comet could be bestowed upon a Marine by an officer of flag rank, either admiral or general, from any of the three branches of the Republic Military. As with other decorations for valor within the Marine Corps, earning the Star resulted in an individual soldier or officer advancing closer to being promoted in rank. Subsequent awards of the Comet were marked as "clusters" upon the medal itself.
