It is awarded for "...meritorious achievement in the field of civic action in duty responsibility or in direct support to military operations".[2]

The medal may be awarded by the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, Area Commanders, Armed Forces of the Philippines-Wide Support and Separate Units, and the Commanders of the Philippine Army, Philippine Navy, or Philippine Air Force.
