AFRM with silver hourglass and 2 Mobilization Awards

The Mobilization Device is an award attachment to the Armed Forces Reserve Medal which denotes those who have received the decoration for duty in a recall to active service from a reserve or National Guard component of the United States military.


The Mobilization Device was first authorized in 1996 by order of President Bill Clinton. The device was an expansion on a 1990 directive which authorized the Armed Forces Reserve Medal, without device, to any reserve or National Guard member who was federalized to perform duty in a designated mobilization.


The original operations, for which the Mobilization Device was authorized, are as follows.

Since its initial issuance, the Mobilization Device has been authorized to any reservist or National Guard member who was involuntarily recalled to active duty. Those who returned to active duty by their own choice, participated in the Active Duty Special Work program, or who were Temporary Active Reservists (TARs) are not eligible to receive the Mobilization Device.


The Mobilization Device is worn as a large bronze “M” centered in the middle of the Armed Forces Reserve Medal’s ribbon. If the wearer is authorized the Hourglass Device, this is centered to one side of the Mobilization Device while a bronze award numeral, signifying the total awards of the Mobilization Device, is centered on the opposite side of the award ribbon (no award numerals are authorized for the first award of the Mobilization Device).
