Awards

Medals and Decorations

Main Article: Royal Manticoran Army Awards
Many of the army gallantry awards have a different name and insignia from equivalent precedence awards used by the Royal Manticoran Navy and Marine Corps. For example, the army's Cormany Star is equivalent to the Manticore Cross.

Some awards, such as the Parliamentary Medal of Valor, are issued to qualifying personnel of all Manticoran military branches. For these, the same award would be issued to a spacer, marine, or soldier.

In other cases the RMA has awards that are distinct from, but parallel to those of the RMN and RMMC. Several, such as the Meritorious Service Medal, have the same name but a different colored ribbon for the RMA.

Additionally, in TRMN the Marshal of the Army is the awarding authority for the Royal Household Distinguished Service Medal, which is awarded to civilians and military personnel of all branches.

Weapons Qualification Badges

RMA Weapons Qualification badges

The RMA awards the all-metal Weapons Qualification Badge for qualifications in various weapons, as distinguished from the ribbon suspended medals awarded for marksmanship in the RMN and RMMC. The ranks, in ascending order, are Marksman, Sharpshooter, Expert, and High Expert, and qualifying weapons include rifle, pistol, plasma rifle, and tri-barrel.[10]

Combat Infantry Badge

Combat Infantry Badge

The Combat Infantry Badge (CIB) is awarded to TRMN personnel though qualifying activity in marksmanship, charity, academics, and event participation. [11]

Monarch's Own Regiment

The Monarch's Own is the elite royal guard regiment of the RMA. In TRMN, membership in the Monarch's Own serves as an honor society for RMA members,[12] similar to HMS Unconquered crew in the RMN and RMMC.

Chiron House

Chiron House is the honor society of the King Roger I Military Academy.

Queen's Club

Membership in the Queen's Club is offered to Officers of the Star Kingdom of Manticore and the Grand Alliance who have completed qualifying courses in the King Roger I Military Academy.

Unit Awards

Unit award streamer examples

RMA units may be awarded the following, which take the same form as in the RMN:

Additionally, RMA units may be awarded the Army Regimental Excellence Award, which is an "E" award similar to the RMN's Fleet Excellence Award, but with a green ribbon instead of the Navy's black.

RMA units may fly a streamer from the staff of their unit flag for each unit award received.[13]
