answer text <p>Medallic recognition for operations is kept under continuous review by the Ministry of Defence.

answer text <p>There has been an ongoing debate among interested parties, including veterans and campaigners, about whether the current model for awarding medals to members of the Armed Forces fits the changing face of operations. This issue was recognised by Sir John Holmes in the Military Medals Review published in July 2012. However, whilst no such medal has so far been introduced, we continuously evaluate those medals that are awarded and whether they remain appropriate for the current operational environment.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government appreciates the courage shown and sacrifices made by all our brave Service men and women, including those who have served in the Submarine Service as part of Operation Relentless. However, there are no plans to introduce a special service medal. Since 2010, our submariners receive the Deterrent Patrol Pin recognising the professionalism, dedication and commitment displayed by those who have deployed on ballistic missile submarine patrols. Former members of the Service are entitled, and encouraged, to apply for the pin in recognition of their previous service.</p> more like this
