These accomplishments will clearly and unmistakably distinguish candidates from their peers and will contribute significantly to the continuing mission of the Finance Corps.

Individuals eligible for nomination include any present or former Finance commissioned officers, warrant officers, noncommissioned officers, enlisted soldiers, civilians, and Finance soldiers in the National Guard or reserves. All Finance honor graduates of the Command and General Staff College (CGSC), Officer Advanced Course (OAC), Sergeants Major Academy, the Advanced Noncommissioned Officer Course Distinguished Leader, and the Finance Corps NCO and Soldier of the Year will automatically receive the Medallion.
