This medal would be authorized by the Secretary concerned and feature a design approved by the Secretary of Defense, including associated appurtenances like ribbons and lapel pins. Eligibility for the medal is primarily for individuals who served on active duty in the Armed Forces in support of designated operations during the Iran-Israel War , specifically mentioning Operation Midnight Hammer . Additionally, personnel deployed in areas of operations designated by the Secretary concerned, or those performing other prescribed service, would also qualify. Only one medal may be awarded per person, with provisions for issuance to the next-of-kin if the eligible service member is deceased, all subject to uniform regulations prescribed by the Secretaries concerned.
