The ribbon is worn with a palm to indicate level of awarding authority. The ribbon is enclosed behind a gold color metal frame.
2. Criteria: The Republic of Vietnam Civil Action Medal is authorized as an individual foreign award to some members of the United States and foreign Army and Air Force and a unit award to certain US and foreign Army and Air Force units. However, the VCAR is authorized to ALL US Navy and Marine Corps personnel (and foreign Marine and Naval personnel who served under MACV) who served in-country Vietnam. [Ref: SECNAVINST 1650.1G N09B13; 7 January 2002)]. (USN and USMC personnel stationed on vessels are not authorized unless their vessel was awarded the VCAR.)
The unit citation of the Republic of Vietnam Civil Actions Medal was awarded certain units by the Vietnamese government for meritorious service during the period 1 March 1961 to 28 March 1974. Individuals who received the RVN Civil Actions Medal as an individual award are authorized to wear the medal. Personnel assigned to an unit which was awarded the medal are authorized to wear the medal and unit award emblem. [Ref: US Military Awards: http://www.amervets.com/library.htm
b. Organizations which have been awarded the Republic of Vietnam Civil Actions unit award may display a streamer on the organizational flag. The streamer is the same pattern as the ribbon with the palm near the heading of the streamer. The inscription will be as indicated on the unit's lineage and honors.
c. The Republic of Vietnam Civil Action Medal was awarded as an individual foreign decoration in certain instances. When worn as an individual foreign decoration, it is worn without the gold frame.
