The Iraq Medal is now awarded for 30 days continuous service on Op Telic in Iraq. Air crew are awarded the Medal for 10 sorties into Iraq. Originally Posted by Cafe_Creme

Don't think it will change as it's called The Iraq Medal, not the Op Telic Medal.

Despite the fact it was called the Iraq Medal, it was intrinsically linked to Op TELIC and on the end of Op TELIC entitlement to that medal ceased. Service in Iraq still earns OA and personnel working with the Nato Training Mission get a NATO Non-Article V Medal but are not entitled to wear it. Service in the remainder of the KIPION JOA gets neither OA nor a medal (other than those who are awarded the EUNAVFOR Op ATALANTA Medal or the NATO Non-Article V Op OCEAN SHEILD Medal but wearing of either of these is not permitted).

Issue of the Iraq Medal has ceased. I ask the Medal Office direct and they confirmed this.

It was presumably because the 'risk and rigour' that was endemic in Op TELIC is not so now for Op KIPION. I can't see why you wouldn't be able to wear the NATO medal if no UK equivalent was available? Originally Posted by maninblue
