The employee's/service member's performance throughout their career is considered the performance period for this award.

Each major command, field operating agency and direct reporting unit may submit one military and one civilian nomination. Applications are due to Air Force Personnel Center by April 20.

Organizations and base-level personnel must contact their major command, field operating agency or direct reporting unit for applicable suspense dates and additional information regarding nomination procedures.
