Criteria:
The award criteria, spelled out in the offer of the medal from Defense Minister al-Dulaimi, are that service members must have served for 30 consecutive days or for 60 non-consecutive days within the borders of Iraq, within its territorial waters, or within its airspace during the period of March 19, 2003 to December 31, 2011. Pilots and aircrew members who flew missions within Iraqi airspace will be credited for one day for each day of air operations. Service members who engaged in combat during an armed engagement or were wounded or injured in the line of duty to a degree which required medical evacuation from Iraq qualify for the medal without regard to the number of days of service
The only recipient:
Joe Biden

SGM, that’s the question I do have. By producing, those that mean they have to make one for every Soldier that served in Iraq or is there a percentage? I’m assuming that’s what was done for the Kuwait Liberation Medal?

1SG (Join to see) - They have to make more than just the one prototype they sent us, but yeah, they need to make enough to get approved, at least a couple hundred thousand, whatever the minimum is.
Once approved, Vanguard and everyone else will start making them anyway.

My feelings on it: Meh.
Whether it is to be, or not to be, it won't bother me.
