  • CCI 511.01 EFFECTIVE DATE: 19 January 2021
    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH COMMISSIONED CORPS INSTRUCTION AND HUMAN SERVICES CCI 511.01 EFFECTIVE DATE: 19 January 2021 By Order of the Assistant Secretary for Health: ADM Brett P. Giroir, M.D. SUBJECT: Awards Program 1. PURPOSE: 1-1. This Instruction prescribes the awards established under the Public Health Service (PHS) Commissioned Officers’ Awards Program (COAP). It also prescribes the authorities and responsibilities for administering this program. 1-2. COAP provides a means to give formal recognition to deserving officers in the Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service (Corps) and to members of the other uniformed services whose accomplishments or achievements are of outstanding or unique significance to the missions of the Corps, or to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and non-HHS organizations to which Corps officers are detailed. The COAP normally is limited to accomplishments or achievements that are within the scope of an officer’s employment with the Corps; however, PHS may recognize extraordinary acts of heroism and valor outside an officer’s employment with the Corps through the COAP. This includes official activities sanctioned by SG-appointed groups according to their respective charters. 1-3. COAP is a criteria-based process designed to recognize documented accomplishments and achievements. It is not intended to convey any impression of officers competing with each other for recognition. There are neither minimum nor maximum numbers of nominations that may be submitted by HHS Operating Divisions (OPDIVs)/Staff Divisions (STAFFDIVs), or non-HHS organizations to which Corps officers are detailed, and the Corps assesses each award nomination on its own merits in comparison with criteria.

I wanted to know what I was entitled to that was not on my DD 214. So I began to research the ribbons and medals the USS Boston CAG1/CA69 received. Once I had gathered and assembled all the information together, I began the effort to organize and assembled this material into a written form for my own pleasure. However, once assembled and completed I thought this might be of interest to the Boston shipmates and wanted to share my efforts.
