Overseas Service Ribbon
The Army Overseas Service Ribbon (OSR) was established by the Secretary of
the Army on April 10, 1981. Effective August 1, 1981, the Army OSR is awarded
to all members of the Active Army, Army National Guard, and Army Reserve in
an active Reserve status for successful completion of overseas tours. The ribbon
may be awarded retroactively to personnel who were credited with a normal
overseas tour completion before August 1, 1981, provided they had an Active
Army status on or after August 1, 1981.
To receive the OSR, Soldiers must be
credited with a normal overseas tour completion in accordance with AR 614-30
(see Table 3-2). Soldiers who have overseas service with another branch of service
(AF, Navy, Marines) must be credited with normal overseas tour completion by
that service to qualify for award of the OSR.
Note: Overseas tour completion is determined by AR 614-30. If a Soldier is credited with a normal overseas tour completion, then the Soldier may be awarded the OSR. Tours lengths for Iraq and Afghanistan have NOT been established.
**The Awards and Decorations Branch
does not determine overseas tour completion and eligibility.
