General Description : Established October 28, 1974. It is awarded to servicemen of the army, navy, border guards, and internal troops for outstanding achievements in combat and political training and education and for displays of valour and gallantry during active service.

In the center of the ribbon for the 1st Class award, there is a gilded star and on the 2nd Class a silvered star. The medals have been issued a over 50,000 times.
Front Description : In the center of the star is a medallion with the faces of three service men from different branches of service. Surrounding the medallion is a Cyrillic inscription and laurel branches.
