U.S. Army of Cuban Pacification Medal Ribbon Bar – New Old Stock
An unused New Old Stock (NOS) ribbon bar representing the United States Army of Cuban Pacification Medal, a military campaign decoration recognizing American soldiers who served in Cuba during the Second Occupation of Cuba from 1906 to 1909.
Historical Background
Following the Spanish–American War of 1898, Cuba came under temporary United States military administration before formally gaining independence in 1902.
However, political unrest and disputed elections in 1906 threatened the stability of the newly independent Cuban government.
In September 1906, the United States intervened under the provisions of the Platt Amendment, establishing a provisional government and deploying American troops to maintain order.
The occupation force, known as the Army of Cuban Pacification, was responsible for maintaining security, protecting American interests, and supporting the restoration of stable civilian government.
American soldiers remained stationed throughout Cuba until January 1909, when the occupation ended and governmental authority was returned to Cuban officials.
The Army of Cuban Pacification Medal was established on May 11, 1909, to recognize qualifying military service during this period.
Why It Was Awarded
The Army of Cuban Pacification Medal recognized United States Army personnel who served in Cuba between October 6, 1906, and April 1, 1909, under the prescribed eligibility requirements.
The decoration commemorates American military participation in the Second Occupation of Cuba, an important chapter in early twentieth-century United States and Caribbean history.
