List of Unit Awards - Navy
PUC = Presidential Unit Citation, NUC = Navy Unit Commendation, MUC = Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation, RVNGC = Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross Medal, Color, with Palm
Help!! If an award is not highlighted then we do not have a copy of the Citation or Master List of participants available. If you possess a Citation and/or Master List then please contact our Webmaster, Mike Harris, at the Email Address below so he can include it in our database.
Many of the references below are duplications for the same citation (i.e. a PUC awarded to both River Assault Divisions 111 and 112 may also appear as a PUC awarded to River Assault Squadron 11 for the same dates). We presently have most of the awards compiled with the help of our Mobile Riverine Force personnel and the Chief of Naval Operations office.
If you know your unit came under the umbrella of River Assault Flotilla ONE and/or Task Force 117 then please let us know and we will include your citations.
The following information is excerpted from the Chief
of Naval Operations OPNAV Note 1650 of 09 Mar 01 - Unit Awards and Citations
Master List - Awards Branch: N09B13. See our Navy
Awards and Decorations page to learn how to search for your personal
unit awards.
