Award numerals are decorations of the United States military which are attachments to certain ribbons and awards. Award numerals denote repeated decorations of the same award and appear as arabic numerals on a medal or ribbon. Award numerals are very similar to the Strike/Flight numerals of the U.S. Navy and United States Marines.
The decorations that use award numerals are as follows:
- Air Medal
- NCO Professional Development Ribbon
- Army Overseas Service Ribbon
- Army Reserve Components Overseas Training Ribbon
- Armed Forces Reserve Medal (not pictured)
With the exception of the Air Medal and Armed Forces Reserve Medal, the United States Army is the only branch of service to use award numerals on decorations.
