Navy Arctic Service Miniature Medal

The Navy Arctic Service Miniature Medal is the small-scale version of the official Navy Arctic Service Medal, created for formal wear on mess dress or miniature medal racks. Established in 1987, this award honors Sailors and eligible personnel who served above the Arctic Circle, enduring some of the most demanding conditions on Earth. The miniature format offers the same symbolic design and recognition as the full-size medal, making it a distinguished piece for veterans, collectors, and ceremonial occasions.
