This distinguished medal group consists of the Australian Active Service Medal (AASM) with the ICAT Clasp, the Afghanistan Medal, the Australian Defence Medal (ADM), and the NATO Medal with the ISAF Clasp, all court mounted for wear.
The Australian Active Service Medal is awarded for active service in designated warlike operations. The ICAT (International Campaign Against Terrorism) Clasp signifies participation in operations against terrorism under specific conditions. This clasp can be awarded to members who have served in operations in designated areas, such as Afghanistan, during the campaign against international terrorism.
The Afghanistan Medal is an Australian military award that recognises service by Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel in Afghanistan. The award covers various operations and is bestowed upon individuals who have completed a minimum period of service within the area of operations.
The Australian Defence Medal (ADM) is awarded to Australian Defence Force personnel who have efficiently completed either an initial enlistment period or four years of service, whichever is the lesser. It recognises the commitment and contribution of ADF personnel, including Reserve members.
The NATO Medal with the ISAF Clasp is an international military decoration awarded to military personnel who have participated in various North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) operations, in this case, the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan. The ISAF Clasp indicates service with the ISAF mission in Afghanistan under NATO command.
Together, these medals acknowledge a range of service commitments and contributions, from active engagement in warlike operations to long-term dedication to the Australian Defence Force. They are a fitting tribute to the dedication and sacrifice of our service men and women.
