Am I authorized the Army Reserve Components Overseas Training Ribbon?

You cannot wear an award that you did not participate in. If it is a unit award it should apply to those Soldiers who deployed. Double check with your personnel section.

Hopefully someone that is far wiser and knowledgeable about this has the answer that you seek brother SSG(P) (Join to see)

Negative. It’s not a unit award and you had to actually go. And you’re leaving out the part of having to have been there no less than TEN days.

If you didn’t have to actually have been there, the reg. wouldn’t give a minimum time.

Have you asked your FLL or S1? Generally speaking, if you didn't go or don't have orders, it's not authorized.

Did you get a humanitarian ribbon?

Ask your S1 or, better yet, HRC. I believe you will find that you must have been one of those who actually went.

This ribbon is for recognition of Soldiers who, while performing their annual training, were in another country for that training time (typically 14 days or more). Yes, the members of the unit are eligible, but they must be present and one of those who have orders supporting their movement to, and from, that country (typically the movement to orders have an end date).

If this was an active duty mobilization, where you were called to active duty under Title 10, then the ARCOT is not what you would seek, rather, it would be the OSR. But even that has time-length criteria which must be met IAW the theater of operations and the country. Typically you must complete 5/6ths of the tour, I country or theater, to qualify for the OSR.

Get further clarification from HRC.

Were you on orders sending you to the DR for the training? No. So, no, you are not authorized the ribbon.

Hmmm I'm gonna lean towards no on this one.

Here is the criteria for the wear of the Amy Reserve Component overseas ribbon. 5–3. Army Reserve Components Overseas Training Ribbon
a. The ARCOTR was established by the SECARMY on 11 July 1984 as announced in DAGO 1990–15. It is
awarded to members of the RC of the Army (ARNG and USAR), for successful completion of annual training or ADT
for a period not less than 10 consecutive duty days on foreign soil. All ARNG and USAR Soldiers who accompany the
RC unit (including unit cells) to which they are assigned or attached as active duty for operational support during
overseas training are also eligible for the award. Effective 11 July 1984, all members of the ARNG and USAR are
eligible for this award if they were active Reserve status members of the ARNG, USAR (not on active duty in the
Active Army), or AGR Soldiers at the time their unit underwent annual training or ADT on foreign soil.

b. All AGR personnel, not assigned to a TPU, are also eligible for award of the ARCOTR provided they are ordered
overseas specifically as advance party to, simultaneously with, or in support of operations of RC units training
overseas. Ten consecutive days overseas must be met. Other AGR members overseas for any other reason are not
eligible for the ARCOTR.
c. The ARCOTR may be awarded retroactively to those personnel who successfully completed annual training or
ADT on foreign soil in a Reserve status prior to 11 July 1984 provided they have an active status as defined above on
or after 11 July 1984.
d. Soldiers must be credited with completion of at least 10 consecutive duty days outside the 50 States, the District
of Columbia, and U.S. possessions and territories in the performance of duties in conjunction with Active Army, Joint
services, or Allied Forces. The day of departure counts; the day of return does not.
e. The ARCOTR is a training ribbon, which does not conflict with service medals or decorations.
f. Numerals will be used to denote second and subsequent awards of the ARCOTR (see para 6–4)

Why do you think you would be authorized an overseas training ribbon, if you did not train overseas? If your unit went to Iraq in 2006, you think you would get the ICM for it?
