North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO ): Non-Article 5 Medal (1st type riband) with clasp 'Non-Article 5'

The 'Non-Article 5' medal, like all other NATO campaign medals is worn with 'un-restricted permission' to wear in uniform, by qualifying personnel of the British Armed Forces

For award of the NATO 'NON-ARTICLE 5' Medal, personnel must complete both the qualifying period of service (below) and meet the eligibility criteria. The qualifying periods are thirty days continuous or accumulated service on the land or in the air spaces of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, the Former Yugoslavia (including Kosovo), Albania, and the Former Republic of Macedonia. Aircrew will accumulate one days service for the first sortie flown of any day in the Area of Operation; additional sorties flown on the same day receive no further credit. This requirement exists for support as well as combat aircraft, support aircraft including tanker, airlift and surveillance platforms. This medal replaces the NATO medals for the Former-Yugoslavia, Kosovo and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia

This medal replaces the NATO medals for Former-Yugoslavia, Kosovo and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. With the creation of this medal, NATO has abolished the practice of issuing tour numerals to recognise more than one tour with NATO forces. The "NON ARTICLE FIVE" medal will be issued once to recognise all service in the Balkans, regardless of the number of tours a member serves. NATO no longer recognises service in support areas such as Italy, Greece, Hungary and Austria as qualifying time towards the "NON ARTICLE FIVE" medal. A member must serve thirty days in the theatre of operations to qualify for the medal
