The Navy Civilian Service Achievement Medal is awarded to Department of the Navy and U.S. Marine Corps civilians who, while serving in a capacity within the Navy or Marine Corps, are to be recognized for sustained performance or specific achievement of a superlative nature at the equivalent level of the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal awarded to military personnel.[1][2]
The award consists of a certificate and citation signed by the activity head, the medal on a suspension ribbon, and a lapel emblem. The award is the fifth highest Navy civilian award, ranking just behind the Navy Civilian Service Commendation Medal, and before the Navy Certificate of Achievement. The approval authority for the award is commanders in the rank of O-5 and above and civilians in equivalent positions and above.[1] The first known presentations were to Bilyana Atova Reece, Sara Givens, and Kaitlyn Owens in Europe on Jan. 16, 2019.[3]
