cavcon Posted May 8 #1 Posted May 8 Need a little Help. I just received an army officers record from 1945-72. He started off in the navy, went to the army as an EM in 1951 then to OCS. He was a signal officer in Vietnam. The record list he was awarded an “A F outstanding unit emblem”. Anyone know if this is actually an Air Force Outstanding Unit emblem or could it mean Armed Forces, (even tough I’m not sure what unit award it would be exactly). Also I do not know when he was awarded it but looks like he only spent about 6 months in Vietnam with no campaign stars noted. I know anything is possible but would an Army Officer receive this award? Thanks.
atb Posted May 8 #2 Posted May 8 I would go with Air Force Outstanding Unit Award. As far as I know yan Armed Forces Outstanding Unit Award does not exist. And, yes, depending on this officer's assignment he could very well have received the Air Force award. He could have served in Vietnam for up to 11 months.
cavcon Posted May 8 Author #3 Posted May 8 Thank you. I will go with the AF. Also, would it be likely he served for at least 6 months and did not receive a single campaign star? I believe he was with the first field force?
