Description: Personnel who received the GWOTE Medal for service in Iraq or Afghanistan may choose to exchange their it for one of the new models. For all other approved anti-terrorism locations the GWOTE Medal is still utilized. As of February 9th, 2015 service members are authorized to wear Service Stars on their Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medals (GWOT-EM) to represent deployments in support of approved GWOT operations. The five GWOT-EM approved operations are: Operation Inclusive Dates ENDURING FREEDOM (OEF) Sep 11, 2001 – TBD IRAQI FREEDOM (OIF) Mar 19, 2003 – Aug 31, 2010 NOMAD SHADOW (ONS) Nov 5, 2007 – TBD NEW DAWN (OND) Sep 1, 2010 – Dec 31, 2011 INHERENT RESOLVE (OIR) June 15, 2014 – TBD Only one GWOT-EM is awarded for each approved operation. For example, a service member who was awarded the medal for an Operation Enduring Freedom deployment, and is subsequently authorized a second award for an Operation Inherent Resolve deployment would wear a single Service Star on the GWOT-EM to denote both awards. To be eligible, service members must have served in deployed status for at least 30 consecutive or 60 cumulative days within an authorized anti-terrorism operations. Service time may be waived when a service member participated in active combat, required medical evacuation after having been wounded or posthumously for any service member who dies from combat or non-combat wounds while in the line of duty. The Global War on Terrorism Service Medal is a similar award, with the primary difference being that it is awarded for service within the United States, while the GWOTE Medal is generally awarded for service on foreign shores.
