A person eligible for the medal is any servicemember who
- served on active duty;
- was deployed during war or an overseas contingency operation;
- as a result of a combat instance during such war or operation, was the last surviving member of a unit;
- demonstrated extraordinary heroism during such combat; and
- whose character is recommended for recognition by their commanding officer and at least two peers.
The medal may be issued to the next-of-kin if the recipient is deceased.
