Philippine Presidential Unit Citation Streamer
The Philippine Presidential Unit Citation Streamer represents a prestigious foreign unit decoration awarded by the Republic of the Philippines to qualifying United States military organizations for extraordinary service associated with the defense and liberation of the Philippines and other qualifying operations.
The Philippine Republic Presidential Unit Citation recognizes military organizations whose service provided exceptional assistance to the Republic of the Philippines.
For U.S. Army organizations, the award becomes part of the unit's officially recognized military heritage and may be displayed as a streamer on the organization's authorized flag or guidon.
Streamer Design
The Philippine Presidential Unit Citation Streamer consists of three distinctive stripes:
Ultramarine Blue – White – Old Glory Red
The authorized inscription is embroidered in Yellow.
The streamer uses the same pattern as the ribbon of the Philippine Presidential Unit Citation.
Authorized Inscriptions
Unlike a campaign streamer with a single standardized inscription, the inscription on the Philippine Presidential Unit Citation Streamer is determined by the specific award received by the organization.
Official U.S. Army Lineage and Honors records include inscriptions such as:
- 7 DECEMBER 1941 TO 10 MAY 1942
- 17 OCTOBER 1944 TO 4 JULY 1945
The exact inscription should always be verified against the organization's official Lineage and Honors documentation before manufacturing the streamer.
World War II Service
The Philippine Presidential Unit Citation is closely associated with the service of American military organizations during World War II.
U.S. Army units fought alongside Philippine forces during the defense of the islands following the Japanese invasion in December 1941. Other Army organizations subsequently returned to the Philippines during the Allied campaigns of 1944 and 1945, participating in operations that resulted in the liberation of the Philippine Islands.
The award recognizes the historic relationship between the United States and the Philippines and preserves the distinguished service of American Army organizations that participated in these operations.
