Does this mean we can wear this award if we were apart of CAPOC during this time??? Where do you get a copy of the memorandum??

Wagner and Altshuler presented the Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command with the Army Superior Unit Award by placing a streamer on the command’s flag.

Citing the value of CAPOC’s contributions, Wagner explained that the Army Superior Unit Award is very important, but only a token of recognition for the command’s exceptional service from Sept.15, 2004, to Sept. 15, 2005. The award recognized the difficult and challenging mission of supporting civil affairs and psychological operations units, individual soldiers, USASOC and the Regional Combatant Commander, worldwide.

The emblem is worn by all members of a cited organization and is considered an individual decoration for persons in connection with the cited acts and may be worn whether or not they continue as members of the organization. Other personnel may wear this decoration while serving with an organization to indicate the unit has been awarded the Army Superior Unit Award.

d. Order of precedence and wear policy for unit awards is contained in Army Regulation (AR) 670-1. Policy for awards, approving authority, and supply of the unit award emblem is contained in AR 600-8-22. The policy for display of unit awards on guidons and flags and supply of streamers is contained in AR 840-10.

PSB gets a copy of the award listing and time frame from HRC. That's all they need to add the award to your records. You don't need the order in your file. As long as you were assigned to the unit in question during the cited period, you wear the award and your PSB will have it entered on your ORB/ERB and in your MPRJ.

This counts for subordinate units or just the Headquarters?

The actual memo/order for the award will list the specific units. When we got our VUA for 3rd BCT, the memo was accompanied with a list of each battalion, attached company, and attached platoon that was authorized. That in combination with verification of your assignment to one of those units gets it put on your ERB/ORB.

Not really a direct answer, but basically, it could just be HQ, USACAPOC, or it could be everyone in USACAPOC, or only select units.

DA Awards Branch is always slow in posting updates to the listing. CAPOC isn't on there, but their most recent posting was 25 Feb 06.

a few years ago I saw a copy of the PUC nomination for CJSOTF-West (OIF I) and we're now on what... OIF V or VI? Very slow indeed.
