It depends on what campaign they are supporting. If they deployed to Iraq they will be awarded the Iraqi campaign medal and if it's Afghanistan it's the Afghanistan Campaign Medal. You are only awarded these medals if you server a minimum of 30 consecutive days in country. Most soldiers that deploy will be awarded numerous awards such as the Army Commendation Medal and the Army Achievement Medal for the mission they are supporting while deployed.
To my knowledge (30 years army), NO army issues a medal just for being in it. There is, however, a fairly comprehensive list of Irish army medals, depending on the year and campaign, at: ( see the link Below )
As the Military Cross is roughly equivalent to the Silver Star, the closest award in the British Army to a Bronze Star would be Mention in Despatches. This is not a medal, but usually awarded as an oak leaf allowed to be worn on the campaign medal.
The main difference between an Army ribbon and an Army medal is the level of recognition and the criteria for receiving them. An Army ribbon is usually awarded for specific achievements or participation in a campaign, while an Army medal is awarded for exceptional acts of bravery, valor, or outstanding service. Medals are usually held in higher regard and may carry more prestige.
Army Gold Medal was created in 1810.
No, the Army Reserve Component Achievement Medal cannot be worn with the Army Active Duty Good Conduct Medal. Each medal is earned for different accomplishments and periods of service, and they are not meant to be worn together.

The Bronze Star Medal was an award usually given for bravery in war. It was also given out for other reasons and during WW2 a few were awarded to civilians who helped support the troops. After 1947, the Army decided to award a BSM to every infantryman who had fought in combat and was awarded the Combat Infantryman's Badge. The BSM was a bronze star that hung from a ribbon mostly Red in color with Blue stripe down the center and White on the outside edge.The Bronze Star Device was a star that attached to a Campaign Medal to designate a 2nd or 3rd, etc. award of the Campaign Medal. A soldier was credited with a Campaign Medal for each campaign, such as Normandy, Ardennes, Anzio-Rome. So if a soldier served in 3 campaigns, he would be issued one Campaign Medal for the area of the war he served in and two Bronze Stars he could attach to the ribbon of the Campaign Medal.
