My unit is trying to say that soldiers here in Kuwait are not authorized the Overseas Service Ribbon.

From what I can tell, From AR 600-8-22 Section 5-4 " Soldiers must be credited with a normal overseas tour completion according to AR 614-30."

Looking into 614-30 I'm assuming they are referencing Table 3-2 that talks about Award of tour credit and DEROS.

So you have to meet one of the criteria in that table to be eligible for the overseas ribbon?

Direct from HRC website:
Overseas tour completion is determined by AR 614-30. If a Soldier is credited with a normal overseas tour completion, then the Soldier may be awarded the OSR. Tours lengths for Iraq and Afghanistan have NOT been established. All requests for exceptions to policy will be processed through the proponent of AR 614-30.

Q3: How long do I have to serve in Iraq or Afghanistan to be awarded the OSR?
A3: IAW AR 614-30, Soldiers who serve a minimum of 11 cumulative months (within a 24 month period) or 9 continuous months in a TCS/TDY status may receive overseas tour credit for a completed short tour.

Q4: I deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan from an OCONUS duty station. Am I authorized the OSR for my OCONUS tour and for my tour in Iraq or Afghanistan?
A4: Yes, when a Soldier is serving OCONUS on a prescribed tour and is deployed OCONUS on TDY/TCS status. The original prescribed tour is not interrupted and the Soldier may receive credit for two tours provided he/she is awarded tour completion credit.

The Navy and Marine Corps Overseas Service Ribbon was first proposed in 1968, but not authorized until 17 September 1986. The ribbon is awarded to any member of the Navy or Marine Corps who completes one year of consecutive or cumulative duty at a permanent overseas duty station.

For members of the reserve components, the first award is authorized upon completion of either 30 consecutive or 45 cumulative days of overseas active duty for training. For subsequent awards, the criteria of award for reservists are the same as the active duty members criteria.

In 1999, a directive of the Chief of Naval Operations permitted those personnel stationed on overseas homeported naval vessels to receive the Navy and Marine Corps Overseas Service Ribbon. Prior to this time, such personnel were only eligible to receive the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon. Current regulations now permit the receipt of both ribbons for the same tour of duty.

Additional awards of the Navy and Marine Corps Overseas Service Ribbon are denoted by service stars.

The Sea Service Deployment Ribbon (SSDR) and Navy and Marine Corps Overseas Service Ribbon (OSR) will be awarded to IAs deploying to Afghanistan (OEF) and Iraq (OIF) in accordance with SECNAVINST 1650.1H. However, the OEF and OIF AOEs may be qualifying areas for either ribbon, depending upon the circumstances of the individual. The following amplifying guidance is provided.
The 12-month accumulated sea duty requirement for the SSDR is waived for OEF (11 Sep 1 – TBD) and OIF (19 Mar 2003 – TBD) to qualify for the initial award of the ribbon only. The 12-month requirement still applies for second and subsequent awards.
Individuals with subsequent deployments to the OEF or OIF AOEs may elect to use that deployment time towards qualifying for EITHER a subsequent SSDR or the OSR. The member must elect in writing which ribbon the subsequent deployment time will be credited towards, and may NOT divide the deployment time between the two ribbons. The entire deployment time will be credited towards ONE of the ribbons.

Normally, the Overseas Ribbon covers a satisfactory completion of a PCS tour overseas to continents other than North America. Since I did not handle personnel records for duty relating to deployments, I'm not sure whether the OSR covers them or not. Keep in mind that the OSR is not recognition for combat service so much as service in a location "overseas."

5–4. Overseas Service Ribbon
a. The Overseas Service Ribbon (OSR) was established by the Secretary of the Army on 10 April 1981 as
announced in Department of the Army General Order 15, 10 October 1990. It is awarded to members of the U.S. Army
for successful completion of overseas tours.
b. Effective 1 August 1981, all members of the active Army, Army National Guard and Army Reserve in an active
Reserve status are eligible for this award. The ribbon may be awarded retroactively to those personnel who were
credited with a normal overseas tour completion before 1 August 1981 provided they had an active Army status as
defined above on or after 1 August 1981.
c. Soldiers must be credited with a normal overseas tour completion according to AR 614–30. Service members who
64 AR 600–8–22 • 11 December 2006
have overseas service with another branch of service (USN, USAF, or USMC) must be credited with a normal overseas
tour completion by that service to qualify for award of the Army OSR.
d. Numerals will be used to denote second and subsequent awards of the OSR. (See para 6–4.)
e. Posthumous award of the OSR. For first award of the OSR only, an individual may be posthumously awarded (on
or after 1 August 1981) the OSR before completion of the overseas tour, provided the Soldier’s death is ruled "Line of
duty-Yes."

After reading though many of the comments, i wonder, if understanding is this complex for those who receive the award(s), is it reasonable to believe that a civilian understands the meaning or representation for "any" ribbon. More likely that a civilian sees ribbons as an indicator of someone who has done a "lot" for the military or while in the military.

The Overseas Service Ribbon (OSR) was established by the Secretary of the Army 10 April 1981. It is awarded for successful completion of overseas tours. According to AR 614-30, it must be a normal tour. Numerals can be added for additional tours. Usually it is an extent of 9 months per award. So if you serve 7 months on the first tour, then another 8, that just counts as one. I could be wrong by that one but my last tour in Afghanistan that's what my J1 said. Anyone can look this up if they would like.

From the IG Desk: It's already been established that AR 614-30 drives this award. As far as the process itself is concerned, it's only an entry on your record by a Unit Clerk...at least that's all that was required in my Unit when I was notified of such. But I want to address another aspect for ALLCON by bursting a very important bubble: The civilian world, for the most part, has no clue as to the significance of military awards nor should they. An accolade by itself does not translate into a viable job skill. On my resume, I simply wrote, "Numerous military accolades and awards" and left it at that. During my lifetime civilian career, I was never asked by any Interviewer to speak to my military awards. As far as a military career is concerned, ribbons tell a full story as to where a service member has traveled and been exposed to. I want everyone out there to understand one very simple rule locked in stone...the is NO great clerk in the sky watching out for you or the completeness of your military record for any entry whatsoever. It falls to YOU personally to stay on top of any and all personnel issues including awards, promotions, travel, retirement points and everything else having to do with your career. My office fought a continuous battle of constant complaints regarding lost service records, last-second retirement point audits, "where's the goody I shoulda got" and numerous other issues that would never had seen the light of day if the service member had done their job in the first place to stay ahead of such things. If nothing else, toss a copy of every sheet of paper the military ever gives you into a box and keep it. I did. During the 30 years I was in the Army, I was able to produce accurate copies of items that units failed to maintain and came out ahead each and every time.

For active duty eligibility begins 90 days after reporting overseas with a minimum of 180 days overseas consecutive, additional stars are awarded for periods of 12 consecutive months (not to include leave less than 30 days, or TDY less than 180 days), for SELRES you need 45 cumulative days overseas (non consecutive or consecutive).

The short answer is, to be awarded an overseas service ribbon you must complete a minimum of 3/4 of that tour. Europe, for instance, is 2 years unaccompanied or 3 years accompanied... You would have to complete 3/4 of the appropriate time to receive the ribbon.

I got sidetracked in a few of the threads here however, I am back to the point of the topic:

For the Overseas Service Ribbon, an established tour length must be in place....which as I last checked was not possible in the current Afganistan/Iraq/Kuwait trifecta.

But once upon a time I was told the magic number is 9 months for them. That being said there are caveats in the regulation for tons of variables.

Of note: if the tour is shortened at the convenience of the government; also, you can add it to your record within 60 days of "normal tour completion"

Hope it helps!

Nine continuous months or 11 out of 24 cumulative months in areas where no tour is established (Bosnia, Kosovo, Djibouti, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc). Or fulfilling your normal tour in places like Alaska, Hawaii, Korea, Germany, Italy, or Japan. Those would be 12-36 months depending. In cases where your tour is cut short (unit relocating, compassionate reassignment, etc), if you met the nine months, you're good. If it's due to your misconduct (relocated due to subject of crime or AWOL) then you don't receive it.
You can also receive it concurrently. Eg. If you deployed to Iraq out of Germany, you receive one for your Iraq tour and one later for the Germany tour.
There's also a difference between receiving tour credit and receiving an OSR.
Lastly, if you are approved for a Foreign Service Tour Extension, then you only receive one but if you are approved for a Consecutive Overseas Tour, then you get one for each tour.

The Army's HRC webpage has all of the answers you need with regard to not only the OSR but any other award you may be inquiring about. Here is the short answer: AR 600-8-22, Military Awards, Paragraph 5-4.
•AR 614-30, Overseas Service, Table 3-2 and Table 3-3.
•AR 670-1, Wear and Appearance of Army Uniforms and Insignia.

**The Awards and Decorations Branch does not determine overseas tour completion and eligibility.

Background:

The Army Overseas Service Ribbon (OSR) was established by the Secretary of the Army on April 10, 1981. Effective August 1, 1981, the Army OSR is awarded to all members of the Active Army, Army National Guard, and Army Reserve in an active Reserve status for successful completion of overseas tours. The ribbon may be awarded retroactively to personnel who were credited with a normal overseas tour completion before August 1, 1981, provided they had an Active Army status on or after August 1, 1981.

To receive the OSR, Soldiers must be credited with a normal overseas tour completion in accordance with AR 614-30 (see Table 3-2). Soldiers who have overseas service with another branch of service (AF, Navy, Marines) must be credited with normal overseas tour completion by that service to qualify for award of the OSR.

Note: Overseas tour completion is determined by AR 614-30. If a Soldier is credited with a normal overseas tour completion, then the Soldier may be awarded the OSR. Tours lengths for Iraq and Afghanistan have NOT been established. All requests for exceptions to policy will be processed through the proponent of AR 614-30.

**The Awards and Decorations Branch does not determine overseas tour completion and eligibility.

I "won" the OSR or Oahu Surfing Ribbon for serving two tours in Hawaii. Which is crappy I know, but then again, the E4s in our brigade who requested Airbourne school (and i even tried requesting the shorter Air Assault course) were all turned down by our own battalion COs. Maybe the OSR award was a consolation prize. I'm still disappointed: When desert shield rolled around it might have been nice logistically/strategically to have a few Morse code jockeys who could drop in instead of landing at an "airport" runway like 100 tourists visiting lovely Saudi Arabia or downtown Kuwait.

There is a whole lot of "it's automatic upon completion of tour, this is what the reg says" yes you do all that overseas stuff and complete it and you are "authorized" however I know first had it really comes down to how well your hrc section does their job. Basically take your orders stationing you wherever you went overseas and the orders that brought you back to your Personnel folks and ask them to update your erb. They know the rules of they really want to get dumb with you print out and highlight the reg for them with the orders.

I was awarded the Coast Guard Overseas Deployment Ribbon retroactively as it didn't exist in my time. As I said in an earlier post, it was for 6 months service in country or whatever. I was aboard ship and went left Port ( NY ) on 1 April '67. We didn't go on line in Vietnam until 3 Jun. '67 and were relieved on 14 Dec. '67. Arrived back home on 21 Jan. '68. We had 6 months in Vietnam, not counting the travel time.

I have no idea what the regs say, but after 10 months in Korea, I was called up along with everyone else who arrived in February to be awarded an OSR or a number for those who had multiple tours. It happened every month I was there like clockwork in our unit. Perhaps it was a local regulation or perhaps a unit tradition but I wore my OSR after 10 months. Of course that was 1989 and we still rodes on dinosaurs to the field and our regs were on stone tablets, and a kid named Washington was a cadet who was there for the summer....

I guess the value of awards is determined by the individual. I retired 10 years ago and considered my awards and decorations only once when I considered getting a personalized Bronze Star, Texas license plate. Upon consideration I thought it seemed like a swelled head thing to get. Especially since I don't have a V device to go with it. So yes, while I was on active duty I was proud of my decorations, but since retiring their value seems less than minimal.

AR 614-30 table 3-2 gives the requirements for the award of tour credit. As SFC Settle correctly pointed out "Tours lengths for Iraq and Afghanistan have NOT been established" So according to the table either "Nine months in a continuous TCS/TDY status... where tour lengths have not been established." or "A minimum of 11 cumulative months in a TCS/TDY status in isolated areas where tour lengths have not been established by the Department of Defense (DOD)" may qualify a Soldier for an OSR. That's the basics there are a lot of different requirements for different deployments, OCONUS duty stations, return to CONUS for hospitalization, etc. You'll need to do the research and find out if any exceptional circumstances apply to you or your Soldiers.

Your profile shows that you are with the National Guard which may have an effect of what you are qualified for.
If you were overseas for 10 days or more on a training mission, you may be qualified for the Reserve Overseas Training ribbon.
https://officialmilitaryribbons.com/military_ribbon_info/usa_military_ribbons/army_reserve_componentsoverseas_training_military_ribbon.html
If you were on active duty at the time and assigned on orders to an overseas duty station for a normal tour, usually in excess of 6 months, that did not award a separate medal (there are exceptions), then you could be eligible for the Overseas Service Ribbon.
