Talk:Australian Operational Service Medal

Badge
There is no mention here of the badge that replaced the Returned Active Service Badge - worth its own page or simply add here?

http://www.defence.gov.au/Medals/Australian/Badges/Operational-Service-Badge.asp Happy to supply original photos of my own - just wanting guidance on page creation versus addition...

Civilian variant

 * I did.
 * It says:
 * Operational Service Medal – Border Protection
 * The first service declared for the OSM is the range of border protection operations conducted since 1997. The basic qualifying criteria for the OSM - Border Protection require members of the ADF to have been deployed or force assigned for duty as a member of a declared operation:
 * a. for a period of not less than an aggregate of 30 days; or
 * b. completed 30 sorties from a unit assigned to a declared operation, provided that those sorties were conducted over a period of not less than an aggregate of 30 days at a rate of one sortie per day.
 * As I said: No mention of civilians. Pdfpdf (talk) 11:25, 6 December 2012 (UTC)


 * (You ought to know me well enough by now to know that I'm not going to make such a statement without being able to back it up with supporting references.)

Update - Governor General - 12/12/2012

 * http://www.gg.gov.au/sites/default/files/files/honours/regulations-updates/20130205165357826.PDF - 11 pages, dated 12/12/12
 * It is notified for general information that the Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia has approved certain conditions for the award of the Australian Operational Service Medal - Civilian, as detailed in the following Declarations and Determinations: ... conditions for award of the Australian Operational Service Medal (Civilian) with Clasp: 'EAST TIMOR', 'ICAT', 'IRAQ 2003', 'SOLOMON IS II', 'TIMOR-LESTE' 
 * NO mention of current operations like ISAF. Pdfpdf (talk) 14:05, 18 April 2013 (UTC)


 * The above document DOES mention ongoing current operations. For example:
 * ICAT Clasp: Operation SLIPPER - for the period commenced 20 February 2012:
 * within the area bounded by:
 * 39°00' North Latitude, 32°00' East Longitude
 * 39°00' North Latitude, 78°00' East Longitude
 * 23°00' North Latitude, 78°00' East Longitude
 * 23°00' North Latitude, 68°00' East Longitude
 * 11°00' South Latitude, 68°00' East Longitude
 * 11°00' South Latitude, 38°00' East Longitude
 * 17°00' North Latitude, 38°00' East Longitude
 * 17°00' North Latitude, 32°00' East Longitude
 * Pdfpdf (talk) 14:57, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Update - GG - 12 Feb 2013

 * http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/C2013G00260 - 12 Feb 2013 - "It is also notified for general information that the Governor-General has approved certain conditions for the award of the: Australian Operational Service Medal – CIVILIAN"
 * - Not very informative or useful! Pdfpdf (talk) 14:23, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

It says very clearly on the defence website that there will be one for civvies. See the thread at WT:MILHIST. Cheerio, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 14:37, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
 * It says very clearly in a number of places that there will be one for civilians. But there is NO mention of civilians being eligible for the OSM for Border Protection.
 * And there is VERY little information available regarding the OSM for civilians. Pdfpdf (talk) 08:54, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
