Awards Categories
Awards in TRMN fall into three main categories:
- Achievement Awards - Awarded for achievements for the organization
- Service Awards - Awarded for service to the group
- Marksmanship Awards - Awarded for playing games with other members of TRMN. Please see the Marksmanship Handbook for more on Marksmanship Awards.
Some of these are, of course, awards that many of you will qualify for. Some are awards that only a few ever receive. At the end of the day, these award reward participation so the more you participate, the more you are likely to earn.
Shared awards are awards that are available for multiple Divisions of TRMN. Not all awards are available to all groups, but we have strived to make it fair, and to that end, some awards are shared between Divisions. As an example, the Silesian Anti-Piracy Campaign Award for the RMN and RMMC is equivalent to the Silesian Peacekeeping Ribbon for the RMA which is also shared with the Civilians. The GSN qualifies for the Silesian Anti-Piracy Campaign Award as fictionally, they would actively be engaged in this kind of action.
This kind of cross over happens in real world militaries as well, and although it may not be 100% canon, we do feel that people should be recognized for their efforts, so we have strived to make opportunities as equitable as possible between Divisions.
