I'm looking forward to the discussion on this so I will keep my opinions out.
In the army many times there is unwritten guidance that certain awards will be reserved for certain ranks (both garrison and deployed), how should awards be handled and what guidance should be given?
If you disagree with reserving awards based on rank, why does it happen?
If you agree on reserving awards based on rank, how did you come to that conclusion?

Should a commander be able to say that they will only give a Bronze Star Medal to SSGs and above? Is this how awards are determined IAW AR 600-8-22? What if a SGT or below has met the criteria to earn a more prestigious award? Why does BDE or higher say that they are only alloted a certain number of awards for deployment or PCS or for an impact award? If your repsonse is "Tradition" or "That's the way it always has been," does that make it right?
