The Air and Space Campaign Medal (ASCM) is an award of the United States Air Force and United States Space Force which was first created on April 24, 2002 by order of Secretary of the Air Force James G. Roche. The ASCM may be awarded to members of the USAF and USSF who, after March 24, 1999, supported a significant U.S. military operation designated by the Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force as qualifying for the ASCM at home station or from outside the geographic area of combat. The Remote Combat Effects Campaign Medal (RCECM) is a similar medal established on 22 May 2019 for Air Force personnel who directly participated in a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) combat operation from a remote location.
