DESCRIPTION This publication is intended to provide an all inclusive summary of unit award entitlements. It is supplemented by the periodic awards updates in Marine Corps Bulletin (MCBul) 1650. a. Data regarding unit awards will be listed in four columns as follows: Unit, Award, Period, and Remarks. b. The letters “SU” in the remarks column is an abbreviation for “Supporting Unit.” The command, following the letters “SU”, was awarded the decoration. c. The commands are listed in numerical/alphabetical order. To facilitate the location of units within this Manual, use the index to locate the command and check the unit according to its numerical/alphabetical order. EXAMPLE #1: To find Company A, 1st Battalion, 8th Marines, 2nd Marine Division, check the index for the location of 8th Marine Regiment, then turn to the page number listed and find the 1st Battalion. Next locate Company A and verify entitlement to awards. EXAMPLE #2: To find VMA-211, check the index for the location of the aviation units, then turn to that page and find the unit which is listed in numerical order. d. The entry “See Individual Unit Listing” in the remarks column indicates that all subordinate units which are entitled to the award in question are specifically listed under the specific unit. In many cases, the units which were attached to a command receiving a unit award were attached for only a partial period of time during which the award was authorized. These dates are so indicated. 5. ACTION Unit commanders are authorized to make appropriate service record book entries, once it has been established that the Marine is entitled to the award. 6. FREQUENCY This Manual is revised and issued annually. 7. RECOMMENDATIONS a. This revision contains a substantial number of changes and should be reviewed in its entirety. b. Requests for changes/additions/corrections to this Manual must be submitted via the chain of command to CMC (MMMA) and should include all necessary support material pertinent to the request. 2 NAVMC 2922 21 Apr 00 c.
