****It is fair to state that the actual number of individual decorations awarded under combat conditions cannot be stated with absolute certainty. Normally during these periods, award approval authority for most decorations is delegated to field commanders. That is, the system is decentralized to provide for more timely recognition of the combat soldier. The numbers for the individual decorations shown on these charts represent only those awards that were properly processed and reported to Headquarters, Department of the Army. These charts reflect the current statistics recorded by the Military Awards Branch.
