ACWGC – SSM and LOM Proposal


Gentlemen of the ACWGC <Salute>

In accordance with Club Rule 9.0, changes to the Club Rules are proposed as below. These changes establish a new ACWGC-wide award for Special Service to the Club (Special Service Medal, SSM), revise OBD award points for the ACWGC Legion of Merit Award (LOM) and clarify aspects and procedures for both awards.

BACKGROUND

The LOM was established in 2006. Since that time, it has been awarded 20 times, twice to 3 Officers. Eight of the officers who have received the LOM are still serving in administrative positions for the ACWGC. Without exception, the award of the LOM was made to officers with a long record of service to the ACWGC. Currently, thirty OBD points are awarded for the LOM. This presently is the only Club-wide medal.

The SSM is a new award proposed to recognize short term service or acts which provide a significant Club-wide benefit performed by members who may not have long tenure.

Your vote on this proposal is hereby requested. Your vote may be cast by clicking Yes or NO in the poll. A vote of yes is a vote to approve the rule changes, a vote of No is a vote not to approve the rule changes. Your vote must by cast by February 7, 2022. The proposal has considered comments received on the proposed rule change (see https://wargame.ch/board/acwgc/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=22800) and further comments will not be considered.

PROPOSED RULE CHANGES

4.2.3.2 Limits - No single officer may receive more than 20 Conduct Points in any given month.

Change to Read as:

4.2.3.2 Limits - No single officer may receive more than 20 Conduct Points in any given month. Any Conduct Points awarded commensurate with the receipt of an ACWGC-wide award are not included in this 20 Conduct Point monthly limitation. An officer may receive 20 Conduct Points from his/her military group, plus the number of points associated with any ACWGC-wide awards received.

6.1 Medals and other special awards may be conferred by the two military groups, individually. ACWGC-wide medals may be conferred by the Cabinet.

Change to Read as:

6.1 Medals and other special awards may be conferred by the two military groups separately. In exceptional circumstances, and with the concurrence of both CoAs, awards from one group may be given to members of the other group. Any ACWGC-wide medals and special awards may be conferred only by the Cabinet.

6.1.1 ACWGC-wide Medals.

6.1.2 Legion of Merit (LOM)
6.1.2.1 Intent. The intent of the LOM is to recognize exceptional long-term service to the ACWGC as a whole in one or more positions of importance to the ACWGC.
6.1.2.2 OBD Points. 200 OBD points are awarded to the LOM recipient by the cabinet. The recipient’s CoA will annotate the officer’s record in the DoR.
6.1.2.3 Procedure. Any member may recommend another officer for award of the LOM. Recommending officers will forward their recommendations and supporting information through the chain of command to the CoA. The CoA will judge the merits of the recommendation and may forward to the Cabinet for approval or take other action he/she deems appropriate. The CoA will inform the recommending officer and his/her chain of command and the Cabinet of his/her decision. The Cabinet will approve/disapprove the award through simple majority vote. Information supporting the nomination will clearly describe the type and duration of the service performed and the exceptional nature of the recommended officer’s performance of that service.
6.1.2.4 Limitations. Only active officers may forward recommendations for award of the LOM. Only active officers may receive the LOM. There is no limit to the number of LOMs an officer may receive for additional long-term service that merit the award. The LOM will not be awarded retroactively.

6.1.3 Special Service Medal (SSM)
6.1.3.1 Intent. The intent of the SSM is to recognize exceptional execution of a particular task performed over a short period of time that is of significant benefit to the ACWGC as a whole.
6.1.3.2 OBD Points. 100 OBD points are awarded to the SSM recipient by the Cabinet. The recipient’s CoA will annotate the officer’s record in the DoR.
6.1.3.3 Procedure. Any member may recommend another officer for award of the SSM. Recommending officers will forward their recommendations and supporting information through the chain of command to the CoA. The CoA will judge the merits of the recommendation and may forward to the Cabinet for approval or take other action he/she deems appropriate. The CoA will inform the recommending officer and his/her chain of command and the Cabinet of his/her decision. The Cabinet will approve/disapprove the award through simple majority vote. Information supporting the nomination will clearly indicate why the officer is recommended for the award.
6.1.3.4 Limitations. Only active officers may forward recommendations for award of the SSM. Only active officers may receive the SSM. There is no limit to the number of SSMs an officer may receive for separate acts that merit the award. The SSM will not be awarded retroactively.
