Military Commendations and Awards Act (2015)

An Act to Create a System of Military Awards and Commendations for the Armed Forces of the Independent Order


Whereas the Citizens of the Independent Order have requested, and consented to, the enactment of an Act of the Senate of the Independent Order to give effect to the provisions hereinafter set forth, and whereas the Members of the Citizens' Assembly have submitted an address to the Clerk of the Assembly requesting that the Clerk may cause a Bill to be laid before the Senate of the Independent Order for that purpose:

Be it therefore enacted by Her Excellency the Grand Chancellor, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

Short Title

(1) This Act may be referred to as Military Commendations and Awards Act (2015).

Establishment of Military Awards

(2) The Grand Chancellor shall, by Order-in-Council and upon the recommendation of the Minister of Defence, establish a system of military awards, these will be presented for meritorious service in the Armed Forces.

(3) The awards shall consist of, but not be limited to, the following:

(a) The Commanders' Cross - To be awarded to a member of the Armed Forces, other than the Minister of Defence, who has commanded a successful military operation,
(b) The Meritorious Service Star - To be awarded to any member of the Armed Forces who has completed three (3) successful military operations,
(c) The Meritorious Service Cross - To be awarded to any member of the Armed Forces who has completed five (5) successful military operations,
(d) Long Service Cross - To be awarded to any member of the Armed Forces who has participated in every military training operation and military deployment within a six (6) month window.

(4) The Minister of Defence shall periodically present the Grand Chancellor with lists of those recommended for military awards. The Grand Chancellor shall then present the recommended awards.

Issuing of Military Commendations

(5) Upon the recommendation of the Minister of Defence, the Grand Chancellor shall, through Order-in-Council, be responsible for presenting military commendations and awards to members of the Armed Forces or other members of the region deemed worthy by the Minister of Defence.

(6) Following a successful completion of a military operation the Grand Chancellor shall, by Order-in-Council and upon the recommendation of the Minister of Defence, commission a campaign ribbon for the nations who took an active part in the campaign.

(7) Upon the recommendation of the Minister of Defence, the Grand Chancellor shall, by Order-in-Council, publish a list of nations eligible for campaign ribbons. Only those nations on the published list may wear the honour.

Wearing of Military Awards

(8) Only those who have been presented military awards by the Grand Chancellor may wear military awards.

(9) Military Awards and Commendations presented from other regions may only be worn with permission of the Minister of Defence.

(10) Military Awards and Commendations will be worn in the following order from left to right from the viewers perspective:

(i) Long Service Cross,
(ii) The Meritorious Service Cross,
(iii) The Meritorious Service Star,
(iv) The Commanders' Cross,
(v) Any other Awards created by Order-in-Council,
(vi) Campaign Ribbons presented with the earliest operation first,
(vii) Foreign Awards and Commendations.

Stripping of Awards

(11) A member of the Armed Forces may be stripped of awards for meritorious service should they be deemed by the Grand Chancellor to be guilty of dishonourable service at any time.

(12) A member of the Armed Forces may only be stripped of a campaign ribbon should the member be found by the High Court to have committed an act of treason during or related to the operation.

Interpretations

(13) The ‘Minister of Defence’ shall be, for the purposes of this Act, interpreted to mean the member of the Cabinet who occupies the defence portfolio.
