INFORMATION:

The China Service Medal was a service medal awarded to U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard personnel. The medal was instituted by Navy Department General Order No. 176 on 1 July 1942. The medal recognized service in and around China before and after World War II. Coast Guard recipients were issued a Navy Medal.

Criteria

The criteria for awarding the medal consisted of service members who:

Served ashore in China or who were attached to any of the vessels that operated in support of the operations in China between 7 July 1937, and 7 September 1939.

Served ashore in China or were attached to any of the vessels that operated in support of operations in China between 2 September 1945 and 1 April 1957. Military services performed in the Asiatic-Pacific area between September 2, 1945 and March 2, 1946 could be credited for eligibility for the China Service Medal unless the individual was eligible for the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal based on service performed prior to 2 September 1945.

Regulations permit the wearing of a bronze service star if a service member had performed duty during both periods of eligibility. The China Service Medal is no longer awarded by the United States Navy.
