Navy Meritorious Unit Commendations do follow you to other branches. They are considered permanent awards from all branches, except the Army. Unit Commendations from the Army may not follow you to other branches, or even other units. As long as you were serving in the unit when the commendation was earned, it is a permanent award that you can wear on your uniform regardless of service. Otherwise, the wear of any unit award is only worn when you are actually assigned to that unit (temporary award).
Commendation Medals are awarded by the individual US Military services to anyone who, while serving in any capacity distinguishes himself/herself by heroism, meritorious achievement or meritorious service.
No, the Navy Unit Commendation is not equivalent to the Silver Star or the Bronze Star. The Silver Star is awarded for gallantry in action against an enemy, while the Bronze Star is awarded for meritorious service or acts of heroism, typically in a combat situation. The Navy Unit Commendation recognizes a unit's outstanding performance in action, but it is not an individual award like the Silver or Bronze Star.
