    Approximately 22 (only) of this award was given by the Marine Corps making it scarcer than the Marine Corps Brevet Medal.

     

    RESERVE SPECIAL COMMENDATION RIBBON

    1. The Secretary of the Navy on 16 April 1946 established the Reserve Special Commendation Ribbon (no medal involved). The award will be made to those officers of the Organized Reserve who have officially commanded in a meritorious manner for a period of 4 years between 1 January 1930 and 7 December 1941, an organized battalion, squadron, or separate division (not part of a battalion) of the Naval Reserve, or an organized battalion or squadron of the Marine Corps Reserve, and have had a total service in the Reserve of not less than 10 years. The 4-year period need not be continuous, but officers must have been regularly assigned to command such units for a total of 4 years. As the designation "Fleet Reserve" was changed to "Organized Reserve" as of 1 July 1938, command under either designation will qualify.
