The Presidential Unit Citation (Korean: 대통령부대표창; Hanja: 大統領部隊表彰) is a military unit award of the government of Republic of Korea that may be presented to South Korean and foreign military units for outstanding performance in defense of the Republic of Korea.[2] In recognition of allied military service to South Korea during the Korean War, all United States military departments were authorized the unit award for that period.[3]
