Army Meritorious Unit Commendation Streamer
The Army Meritorious Unit Commendation (MUC) Streamer represents a distinguished U.S. Army unit award recognizing organizations for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services.
The Meritorious Unit Commendation traces its history to World War II and the Meritorious Service Unit Plaque. In 1947, the Army authorized the Meritorious Unit Commendation and provided for the display of a corresponding streamer on qualifying organizational colors and guidons.
The degree of achievement required for the Meritorious Unit Commendation is comparable to that which would warrant the award of the Legion of Merit to an individual. The award recognizes outstanding organizational performance under exceptionally difficult and challenging circumstances.
The Army Meritorious Unit Commendation Streamer is red with the authorized inscription embroidered in white letters. The inscription identifies the location, theater, operation, or period of service associated with the unit's award.
The exact wording displayed on the streamer is determined by the organization's official Lineage and Honors. Examples of authorized inscriptions include EUROPEAN THEATER, PACIFIC THEATER, VIETNAM 1969, SOUTHWEST ASIA 1990-1991, IRAQ 2004-2005, AFGHANISTAN 2011-2012, and other inscriptions specifically authorized for the individual organization.
The streamer is designed for display on authorized U.S. Army organizational colors, distinguishing flags, and guidons, providing a visible representation of the organization's meritorious service and officially recognized unit honors.
