History / Summary
The Australian Service Medal (1975 - ) was established in 1988 and introduced in 1991 to recognise service by Australian forces in peacekeeping and/or non-warlike operations not already being recognised by the award of an individual campaign medal. Operations considered for inclusion must have taken place after February 1975. The ASM cannot be issued without a clasp. The clasp 'Cambodia' was approved for personnel having a minimum of 30 days service with UNTAC (United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia) or UNAMIC (United Nations Advance Mission in Cambodia) after 9 October 1991, engaged in peacekeeping and supervising elections. 1279 were issued.
