U.S. Army of Occupation of Germany Medal Ribbon Bar – New Old Stock
An unused New Old Stock (NOS) ribbon bar representing the United States Army of Occupation of Germany Medal, a military decoration recognizing American service in Germany following the First World War.
Historical Background
Following the Armistice of November 11, 1918, Allied military forces occupied portions of Germany as part of the agreements ending the First World War.
American troops, including elements of the American Expeditionary Forces, advanced into the German Rhineland and established occupation positions along the Rhine River.
The American occupation was centered around the city of Coblenz (modern Koblenz), where U.S. forces helped maintain security, supervise compliance with armistice provisions, and support the transition from wartime operations to peacetime conditions.
The occupation continued after the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in June 1919, with American forces remaining in Germany until 1923.
The Army of Occupation of Germany Medal was established on November 21, 1941, to recognize qualifying American military service during the postwar occupation.
Why It Was Awarded
The medal recognized eligible members of the United States Armed Forces who served with the Army of Occupation in Germany or Austria between November 12, 1918, and July 11, 1923, under the applicable award regulations.
The decoration commemorates the American military presence in Europe following the First World War.
