The Presidential Unit Citation is awarded to units deemed deserving by the President of the United States. If a soldier is in that particular unit during the time of the award, he or she may wear it on the Army Service Uniform throughout their military career. This is not an easy award to get and only a handful have been selected during the Global War on Terrorism.

Yes. National Guard units are deploying both to Iraq and Afghanistan. Here in North Carolina, the NC National Guard just recently returned from Iraq, and my two deployments to Iraq have been with National Guard units.

Q: Are you referring to WW2 or Modern army? There was no "4th brigade" in WW2. The unit you ask about appears to be 2nd Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division. I believe the current 1st Infantry Division is divided into brigades. The 2nd Battalion, 16th Infantry has the following US unit awards: Presidential Unit Citation (Army) for MATEUR, TUNISIA, Presidential Unit Citation (Army) for SICILY, Presidential Unit Citation (Army) for NORMANDY, Presidential Unit Citation (Army) for HURTGEN FOREST,Presidential Unit Citation (Army) for HAMICH, GERMANY, Valorous Unit Award IRAQ-KUWAIT (Desert Storm 1991), Company C additionally entitled to: Valorous Unit Award for COURTENAY PLANTATION A soldier currently serving in 2-16 Infantry would wear a Presidential Unit Citation with 4 oak leaf clusters and the Valorous Unit Award, additionally soldiers assigned to Charlie Company would wear one oak leaf cluster on the Valorous Unit Award. Soldiers that were assigned to the unit during the timeframe during which an award was earned may wear that award after leaving the unit.

The gunners were awarded the Presidential Unit Citation for their actions in Iraq during their first deployment from 03-07. The exact timeline for being awarded the PUC eludes me at the moment. They were also awarded the Naval unit citation for their actions during OIF 05-07. One of the last guns of Giessen. Gunners!
