    Norway

    Nice - this is the 'Participation Medal' which Norway awards to Norwegian military personnel who have participated in special military operations whether abroad or at home. The medal may also be awarded to foreign military personnel who have made meritorious contributions to the Norwegian Armed Forces.

    The medal remains the same in each case, but a different ribbon is used depending on where you have served - so you get several medals if you take part in more than one operation, provided that you serve the qualifying period for each one, normally 90 days, but less if involved in special operations, get wounded, etc. The ribbon is 33mm wide

    If you make a special/meritorious contribution to the operation, a silver metal rosette may be awarded, which is worn on the ribbon both when the full medal is worn or on a ribbon bar.

    It is not normally awarded if your service could be recognised by a UN or NATO medal.
