Army Presidential Unit Citation Streamer
The Army Presidential Unit Citation (PUC) Streamer represents one of the highest unit decorations awarded to organizations of the United States Army. It recognizes units for extraordinary heroism and outstanding performance while engaged in action against an armed enemy.
Originally established during World War II as the Distinguished Unit Citation, the award was created in 1942 to recognize Army units for outstanding performance of duty after December 7, 1941. The decoration was later redesignated the Presidential Unit Citation (Army).
The level of heroism required for the Presidential Unit Citation is comparable to that which would warrant the award of the Distinguished Service Cross to an individual.
The Army Presidential Unit Citation Streamer is blue with the authorized name of the action embroidered in white. The specific inscription displayed on the streamer is determined by the unit's official Lineage and Honors and identifies the action for which the organization received the award.
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 extraordinary heroism, distinguished combat service, and officially recognized unit honors.
