ARMY OF OCCUPATION MEDAL http://www.afpc.randolph.af.mil/AwardsNet/decs.aspx This medal was established in 1946 and the order has been amended several times to cover areas not originally authorized. It is awarded for thirty consecutive days at a normal post of duty on assignment to the armies of occupation. The medal was designed by the Army Heraldic Section. The obverse shows the Remagen bridge abutments, symbolic of Europe. At the top is the inscription "Army of Occupation" in two lines.
