Executive Order 13013 of August 6, 1996
Amending Executive Order No. 10163, the Armed Forces Reserve Medal
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the 
laws of the United States, including my authority as Commander in Chief 
of the Armed Forces of the United States, it is hereby ordered that 
Executive Order No. 10163, as amended, is further amended by striking 
out sections 3 and 4 and inserting in lieu thereof the following new 
sections 3 and 4:
    ``3. The Armed Forces Reserve Medal may be awarded to members or 
former members of the reserve components of the Armed Forces of the 
United States who meet one or more of the following three criteria.
      a. The member has completed a total of 10 years of honorable 
service in one or more of such reserve components, including annual 
active duty and inactive duty training as required by appropriate 
regulations, provided that (1) such 10 years of service was performed 
within a period of 12 consecutive years, (2) such service shall not 
include service in a regular component of the armed forces, including 
the Coast Guard, but (A) service in a reserve component that is 
concurrent, in whole or in part, with service in a regular component of 
the armed forces shall be included in computing the required 10 years of 
reserve service, and (B) any period of time during which reserve service 
is interrupted by service in a regular component of the armed forces 
shall be excluded in computing, and shall not be considered a break in, 
the said period of 12 consecutive years, and (3) such service shall not 
include service for which the Naval Reserve Medal or the Marine Corps 
Reserve Medal has been or may be awarded.
      b. On or after August 1, 1990, the member was called to active 
duty and served under sections 12301(a), 12302, 12304, 12406 (formerly 
sections 672(a), 673, 673b, 3500, and 8500) and Chapter 15 of title 10, 
United States Code, or, in the case of the United States Coast Guard 
Reserve, section 712 of title 14, United States Code.
      c. On or after August 1, 1990, the member volunteered and served 
on active duty in support of specific U.S. military operations or 
contingencies designated by the Secretary of Defense.
    4. Not more than one Armed Forces Reserve Medal may be awarded to 
any one person. The member shall receive the medal with the distinctive 
design of the reserve component with which the person served at the time 
of award or in which such person last served. The medal is awarded with 
the appropriate appurtenance that denotes the manner in which the award 
was earned, either through completion of 10 years of service, 
mobilization, or volunteering for, and serving on, active duty in 
support of operations or contingencies designated by the Secretary of 
Defense. For each succeeding mobilization, volunteering for, and serving 
on, active duty in support of operations or contingencies, or 10-year 
period of service as above described, and a suitable appurtenance may be 
awarded, to be worn with the medal in accordance with appropriate 
regulations.''
