A unit citation is a formal, honorary mention by high authority of a military unit's specific and outstanding performance, notably in battle. Similar mentions can also be made for individual soldiers. Alternatively or concurrently, the unit can be awarded an honorary title, a mention on the flag or a decoration. In France, since 1916, the fourragère (an ornamental colored cord) is worn on the uniform by the members of a unit which had received several citations.

| - A unit citation is a formal, honorary mention of a military unit's specific and outstanding performance, usually in battle, which is granted by a higher authority. In the 24th century, the Federation Starfleet granted unit citations to starships which had shown outstanding performance in a variety of missions, including battles. During her thirteen year service the crew of the USS Dauntless earned three unit citations. The first citation was granted after the Dauntless held off a group of Romulan warbirds from taking a disputed area of the Alpha Quadrant until other vessels could arrive to lend assistance. The second citation was gained in 2374 when, during the Battle of Tyris, the Dauntless assisted the USS Lionheart in protected two damaged Akira-class vessels from an attack by a large force of Cardassian warships. The third citation was gained during the Final Battle in 2375, when the badly-damaged Dauntless was able to provide cover for the flagship and fought off four suicide attacks by Dominion vessels.
