That seems fair to me. That works out to about 3 hours a week for 3 years at a minimum, but nothing to say that someone can&#39;t put in 3 months of full time volunteer work (40 hour weeks) and be deserving of the medal 1SG Private RallyPoint Member Tue, 10 Oct 2017 21:39:30 -0400 2017-10-10T21:39:30-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/is-the-movsm-required-to-have-a-lot-of-man-hours-or-is-it-at-the-commander-s-discretion?n=2988834&urlhash=2988834 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Most commands I&#39;ve seen go with 300 hours over the duration of your assignment, 2.5-3 years, but there us no set rule.

It is totally at your Command&#39;s discretion. The standard is 3 years OR 400 hours, however, I have seen people get it with as little as 150 hours. My last Command required no documentation; my current Command does.

No one really knows. I have submitted people in the past on the Guard side and all I got was a royal run around.
