Miniature hexagonal white metal medal with loop for ribbon suspension; the face with the seal of the Civil Air Patrol, a plaque imposed centrally inscribed ‘EXCEPTIONAL’; the reverse plain with maker’s mark ‘D-22’; diameter 16.31mm (0.64inch); on original ribbon mounted with pin for wear. The Award is bestowed for ‘exceptionally outstanding service to CAP in a duty of great responsibility while serving in any capacity with CAP. However, the duty should carry the ultimate responsibility for the successful operation of a region, wing or major project within the region or wing. The discharge of such duty must involve the acceptance and fulfilment of the obligation so as to greatly benefit the wing or region and CAP’. Unusually, the Award consists of a ribbon and certificate; the Medal exists only in miniature for senior members to wear on their mess dress uniforms.
