The Award may be bestowed on which recipients?

• A. An individual or a unit
• B. Only an individual
• C. Only a unit
• D. Only a team

Answer: (A)

Awards can be given for personal actions as well as for a unit’s collective performance. Some recognitions are personal decorations earned by an individual, while others are unit awards issued to the organization for teamwork and mission success. When a unit is awarded, the entire unit earns the recognition and eligible members may wear it as a unit citation. This is why the best answer is that recipients can be either an individual or a unit. The other options are too restrictive and don’t reflect how Army awards are issued.
