Military Medals: Efforts To Expedite Their

Distribution To Veterans
                   11l!

The armed forces are responsible for ensuring
that former military members receive, upon appli-
cation, all medals which were earned but never
issued and any replacements needed.


A surge of requests for medals in early 1983
resulted in significant delays in issuing the medals.
GAO found that this problem has been largely
corrected. However, the center that processes
requests for medals from all except Army veterans
has considered transferring its responsibility for
the distribution of medals back to the individual
services although they do not have the organi-
zations or procedures in place to immediately
perform this function effectively. This could cause
additional delays, if implemented.

GAO is recommending that the planned transfer
be delayed until potential solutions to the supply
problem have been examined by the affected
organizations.
