What regulation covers military awards and decorations?

The regulation that covers military awards and decorations is AR 600-8-22. This regulation provides comprehensive guidance on the criteria, eligibility, and procedures for the awarding of various military decorations and awards, ensuring that soldiers are recognized appropriately for their service and achievements. It outlines the processes for nominations, recommendations, and the documentation required to support the awarding of medals and honors. This is essential for maintaining standards and uniformity in recognizing the contributions of soldiers across the Army.

Other regulations mentioned address different aspects of military policies; for example, AR 670-1 pertains to the wear and appearance of Army uniforms, AR 750-1 covers property accountability, and AR 600-20 deals with command policies and responsibilities, but none of these focus specifically on military awards and decorations like AR 600-8-22 does.
