AF Updates Medal Records

Air Force Personnel Center officials have completed a decorations update for more than 69,000 active-duty Airmen who were permanently assigned to Korea, earning the Korean medal. An additional 114,000 updates for the Global War on Terrorism-Expeditionary Medal were completed for active-duty Airmen deployed to Southwest Asia supporting Operations Enduring Freedom or Iraqi Freedom since Sept. 11, 2001. Airmen eligible to wear either medal can view their decoration history in the virtual military personnel flight to verify the update was successful. If they qualified for either decoration but their decoration history was not updated, they can contact their commander’s support staff. If the entitlement is verified, the staff will fax the appropriate letter to the AFPC contact center for update. For more information on criteria for issue and wear of each medal, visit: www.afpc.randolph.af.mil, or call the AFPC contact center at (800) 616-3775.
