This notable medal group consists of the Australian Operational Service Medal Border Protection (AOSM BP), the Australian Operational Service Medal Greater Middle East Operation (AOSM GME), and the Australian Defence Medal (ADM), all of which are expertly court mounted for wear.
The Australian Operational Service Medal Border Protection (AOSM BP) is awarded to Australian Defence Force personnel and recognised civilians for their contributions to border protection operations. This medal honours the dedication and effort required to safeguard Australia's borders, often carried out in complex and challenging maritime environments.
The Australian Operational Service Medal Greater Middle East Operation (AOSM GME) is awarded to ADF personnel for service in designated operations in the Greater Middle East Region. This includes various operations aimed at promoting peace and stability, countering extremism, or humanitarian efforts within the region.
The Australian Defence Medal (ADM) is presented to ADF personnel who have completed either an initial enlistment period or four years of service, whichever is shorter. This medal acknowledges the long-term commitment and contribution to the Australian Defence Force, including by Reserve members.
Collectively, these medals serve to recognise a wide range of service commitments, from participation in border protection and international operations to continuous service in the Australian Defence Force. They offer a significant acknowledgment of the dedication and sacrifice of our service men and women.
