Marines who have served in Afghanistan or Iraq might need to update their record of personal decorations
As published in the Marine Administrative Message 299/08, which was released in May, U.S. Forces Central Command has broken down operations in Afghanistan and Iraq into phases, and depending on the dates Marines were deployed there, they may rate more campaign stars for correlating medals.
Its a good thing to come out with something that can show multiple deployments, said Master Sgt. Damian Moreno, a veteran of two tours in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and senior advisor to the sergeant major of the Marine Corps. It matches up with what has been done in the past.
