| CRITERIA: The
Distinguished Service Cross is awarded to a person who, while serving in
any capacity with the Army, distinguishes himself or herself by
extraordinary heroism not justifying the award of a Medal of Honor;
while engaged in an action against an enemy of the Unites States; while
engaged in military operations involving conflict with an
opposing/foreign force; or while serving with friendly foreign forces
engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing Armed Force in which
the United States is not a belligerent party. The act or acts of heroism
must have been so notable and have involved risk of life so
extraordinary as to set the individual apart from his or her comrades. |
