The Presidential Inauguration Support Ribbon is the United States National Guard military decoration awarded to National Guardsmen who support U.S. Presidential Inaugurations and meet certain criteria. It was first awarded following the inauguration of President Joe Biden in 2021.
In response to the Capitol Hill riot on January 6, 2021, elements from the National Guard of all 50 states, territories, and the District of Columbia were mobilized to enhance security before, during, and after the 2021 Presidential Inauguration.[1]
The ribbon is presently authorized for any National Guard personnel from any state, territory or the District of Columbia who deployed to the area before, during, or after the 59th U.S. Presidential Inauguration on Title 32 orders. Future periods of inaugural support will also establish eligibility for wear of the ribbon. Civilians who render inaugural support are eligible for award of an equivalent certificate indicating their support, but not a military decoration. [2] [3] [4]
The ribbon is authorized for wear by National Guard members not on U.S. Title 10 orders, after Active Duty U.S. military awards and after authorized foreign awards and awards from a Guardsman's home state, following U.S. Army Regulation 670-1.
