Army: Military Decorations
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of awarding battle honours for Army regiments that served in the most recent operations in (a) Iraq and (b) Afghanistan.
- Answer
-
Following the end of combat operations in Iraq in 2009, the Army Honours and Distinctions Committee reviewed the campaign to assess the awarding of honours. Having considered that assessment, the Army decided that the campaign post TELIC 1 did not, in its view, qualify for honours. To date, the Army has not asked the Committee to review the campaign in Afghanistan.
