VIETNAM WAR CITATION

Some ADF members who served during the Vietnam War have been recognised with the Republic of Vietnam Cross of Gallantry with Palm Unit Citation.

The Citation was awarded by the former Government of the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam) to military units that distinguished themselves in battle. The Governor-General has formally approved the awarding of the Citation to Australian military units in recognition of their service during the Vietnam War.

To be eligible for the Citation, Navy and Air Force members must have served in Vietnam as part of a unit awarded by the former Government of the Republic of Vietnam or a unit under the operational control of United States Military Assistance Command Vietnam, during the eligible dates.

Eligibility criteria and application: bit.ly/3DKcDIV

Note: Individuals are not eligible to wear the Citation device until they have been formally approved to do so through the application process.

Approval to wear the Citation does not give a person the authority to wear the Republic of Vietnam Cross of Gallantry Medal.

Family members of deceased Vietnam veterans who may be eligible are asked to submit an application.
