# Navy Civilian Service Achievement Medal

The Navy Civilian Service Achievement Medal is awarded to Department of the Navy and U.S. Marine Corps civilians who, while serving in a capacity within the Navy or Marine Corps, are to be recognized for sustained performance or specific achievement of a superlative nature at the equivalent level of the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal awarded to military personnel.
The award consists of a certificate and citation signed by the activity head, the medal on a suspension ribbon, and a lapel emblem. The award is the fifth highest Navy civilian award, ranking just behind the Navy Civilian Service Commendation Medal, and before the Navy Certificate of Achievement. The approval authority for the award is commanders in the rank of O-5 and above and civilians in equivalent positions and above. The first known presentations were to Bilyana Atova Reece, Sara Givens, and Kaitlyn Owens in Europe on Jan. 16, 2019.

## Medal and ribbon description

The medal's overall shape is that of a bronze circle, but laurel leaves extend slightly from the sides of both the obverse and revers. In the center of the bronze laurel wreath on the obverse is a fouled anchor. This anchor is adapted from the United States Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal. This is to denote the award as being presented on behalf of the Navy or Marine Corps, and to parallel the equivalent award for military service members. The laurel wreaths is emblematic of achievement and honor.
Within the laurel wreath border on the reverse, arched across the top, are the words "Honor Courage Commitment." In the lower center is the stacked inscription "Department of the Navy Civilian Service Achievement"
The colors of the ribbon are myrtle green with three orange stripes. These colors are consistent with the equivalent award for military service members (the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal).

## History

In 2017, the Civilian Advisory Board for the commander, U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa (CNE-A) identified a lack of honorary awards for civilian Department of the Navy (DoN) employees. DoN civilians were eligible for the fewest number of medals and civilian service awards compared to civilians working for the Department of Army and Department of the Air Force. By excluding achievements of a more narrow scope or impact, a majority of the workforce was omitted from receiving recognition for their contributions until they are well advanced in their careers, if at all.
In July 2017, CNE-A signed the proposal to the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) requesting for the addition of the two newly-designed civilian honorary medals. Then in September 2017, the proposal for the awards was presented to the DoN Executive Management Awards Panel and was immediately endorsed and forwarded to SECNAV for approval.
April 24, 2018, SECNAV approved the awards without any significant changes from the original proposed design.
