...exceptional, distinguished and loyal service provided they count not less than twenty-five years of service and possess an unblemished record of moral and military conduct...
Service commanders are responsible for evaluation of suitable candidates for conferment of the award, and make formal recommendations based on several requirements:
an uninterrupted service period of 25 years or more at the time of consideration
