abstract
| - The United States military and uniformed services issues miniature devices for wear on certain medals and service ribbons issued to their members. The device must be authorized in order to be worn on decorations and awards. These are sometimes referred to as award devices, but are most commonly referred to in service regulations and Department of Defense instructions simply as "devices" for awards and decorations. The devices vary between 3/16 to 11/32 inches in size and are usually made of brass or metal alloys that appear gold, silver, or bronze in color with either a dull or polished look. The devices may denote additional awards of the same decoration or award, an award for valor, participation in a particular campaign, periods of honorable service, specific events, and other special meanings.
