Flight crews completing transport missions to Antarctica qualify for one day of service per mission within a 24-hour period. Personnel who serve extended winter service receive a Wintered Over Device, denoting their number of winters served.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe ribbon's design carries deep symbolism: the black outer bands represent five months of Antarctic darkness, while the graded center — moving from medium blue through light and pale blue to white — symbolizes seven months of solar illumination, along with the aurora australis. Established on July 7, 1960, the ASM replaced several earlier commemorative medals issued for Antarctic expeditions dating back to 1928.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSized for everyday wear, this pin lets veterans display this recognition on a suit lapel or jacket.
