20-10-12.3: Community service ribbon.

The adjutant general may award the community service ribbon to a member of the national guard of New Mexico or New Mexico state defense force for substantial or particularly meaningful community service above and beyond the duties required. A member's community service must contribute to the well-being of the civilian community, including the military family community. Service must be significant in nature and produce tangible results. There is not a specific time period of community service that must be performed to qualify for the award. Actions performed in accordance with regular duty requirements are not to be considered for the award. Community service may not result in a personal gain for the service member.
