title="George H.

The medal was designed by the <a href="/wiki/Institute_of_Heraldry" class="mw-redirect" title="Institute of Heraldry">Institute of Heraldry</a> and was first issued in December 1993.<sup id="cite_ref-tioh_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-tioh-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="General_information">General information</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Military_Outstanding_Volunteer_Service_Medal&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: General information"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The MOVSM recognizes those members of the military (active duty, reserve and <a href="/wiki/United_States_National_Guard" class="mw-redirect" title="United States National Guard">National Guard</a>) who perform substantial volunteer service to the local community above and beyond the duties required as a member of the United States Armed Forces. Such volunteer service must be made in a sustained and direct nature towards the civilian community, must be significant in nature to produce tangible results, and must reflect favorably on the military service and the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Defense" title="United States Department of Defense">United States Department of Defense</a>. The definition of volunteer service is left intentionally vague, allowing for a wide variety of activities and volunteer duties which would qualify a service member for the Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal. Typical volunteer work includes Volunteer Emergency Services (like the <a href="/wiki/Civil_Air_Patrol" title="Civil Air Patrol">Civil Air Patrol</a>, <a href="/wiki/Coast_Guard_Auxiliary" class="mw-redirect" title="Coast Guard Auxiliary">Coast Guard Auxiliary</a>, or volunteer firefighting / EMS / Rescue Squad). Other volunteer opportunities that would qualify include <a href="/wiki/Boy_Scouts_of_America" title="Boy Scouts of America">Boy Scouts of America</a>, <a href="/wiki/Habitat_for_Humanity" title="Habitat for Humanity">Habitat for Humanity</a>, soup kitchen work, or local, state, or federal parks and forests. </p><p>'SECDEF authorized the Military Departments to establish standards for the time period required to qualify for the MOVSM. All the Military Departments have established that a sustained period of volunteer service is normally 36 months. While this does not absolutely preclude the award for exceptional volunteer service of less time, it should guide commanders in upholding the intent of the award. The overall level of volunteer participation and impact of an individual’s community service is the key to determining whether award of the MOVSM is justified.' </p><p>The MOVSM is intended to recognize exceptional community support over time and not a single act or achievement. Further, it is intended to honor direct support of community activities. For the purpose of this award, attending membership meetings or social events of a community service group is not considered qualifying service, while manning a community crisis action telephone line is considered qualifying service. </p><p>Approval authority for award of the MOVSM is held by commanders serving in the rank of <a href="/wiki/Lieutenant_colonel_(United_States)" title="Lieutenant colonel (United States)">lieutenant colonel</a> (or <a href="/wiki/Commander#United_States" title="Commander">commander</a>) or above. Before the recommendation is forwarded to the award approval authority, the recommender must certify that the service member meets the eligibility criteria for award of the MOVSM. Substantiating documentation, such as record of hours contributed, letters or certificates from activity supervisors, or other proof of the service member's volunteer services may be attached as enclosures to the recommendation. </p><p>The MOVSM cannot be awarded more than once during a given duty assignment or tour of duty. It may be awarded posthumously, but is not authorized for presentation to foreign personnel. </p><p>The authority governing this award is DoD Manual 1348.33-V2 December 21, 2016. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Appearance">Appearance</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Military_Outstanding_Volunteer_Service_Medal&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Appearance"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The MOVSM is a <a href="/wiki/Bronze" title="Bronze">bronze</a> medal, 1 1/8 inches in diameter.
