Global War On Terrorism Expeditionary Medal
The award replaced the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal for service in Iraq from March 19, 2003, through April 30, 2005. Personnel who previously received the GWOTEM for Iraq service were given the option to exchange the medal for the Iraq Campaign Medal. Both medals were not authorized for the same period of service in Iraq and any Iraq service which followed the medals creation was recognized only with the Iraq Campaign Medal.
