Combat Action Ribbon
[edit]In which conflict did Dunford get his Combat Action Ribbon in? Illegitimate Barrister 05:03, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
It would appear to have been during his 22 months in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom. I searched various USMC references and could not find him named individually, which is not uncommon when large numbers of Marines have been in combat at the same time. In those cases, either entire unit rosters, or long lists of recommended individuals, are submitted for approval, and once approved there is no immediate public disclosure as there is for many other types of personal decorations and campaign/service awards.

Doctrine document?
[edit]Someone recently added "On January 23, 2015 General Dunford released the 36th Commandant's Planning Guidance http://www.hqmc.marines.mil/Portals/142/Docs/2015CPG_Color.pdf". That may not be worth including; it's a routine document. (Now if Charles C. Krulak had written it...) Comments? --John Nagle (talk) 05:16, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
I would agree; every Commandant releases their own CPG document, and many update their CPG again during their tenure, which in General DUnford's case was barely a year. Not necessary for the Wiki article. Cheers,2600:1700:A150:E860:8496:A0ED:F41E:B35A (talk) 23:46, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

Dunford got medal today (see IDF twitter. I haven't updated article yet. DGtal (talk) 07:55, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
Indeed, the General was awarded the Israeli Chief of Staff medal. As with most foreign awards, even those accepted by the US Govt and authorized to the individual, there is no authorization for the actual wear of the medal (or ribbon). His most recent biography and photo doesn't include the Israeli medal on his "ribbon-rack," but once he is authorized by the US to keep the foreign award, it is his. He can hang it in his home, put it on his office wall, etc., he just can't wear it in his USMC uniform. Many other significant individuals in Wikipedia have foreign awards included in their Awards section, so it may be placed there, ahead of his NATO medal near the very bottom, as the Israeli award outranks an "international organization" award in US precedence, but I would place a note that it cannot be worn on the uniform.

Why was he removed as Commandant?
[edit]He served less than a year.64.134.150.132 (talk) 12:58, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
He was appointed by the President to another office, as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the two offices cannot be held simultaneously. Cheers, 2600:1700:A150:E860:8496:A0ED:F41E:B35A (talk) 23:25, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

Afghanistan and Iraq Campaign Medals
[edit]Within General Dunford's ribbon stack are shown the Afghanistan and Iraq Campaign Medals, both with at least one 'service' star. However, the proper terminology for the stars attached to these medals/ribbons is "campaign stars." The source coding appears to be from a template, making me loathe to try to correct it myself, but a more advanced Wikipedian might be successful.
The reference for the specific distinction between service and campaign stars (only campaign medals have campaign stars; many other medals and ribbons have service stars for subsequent awards) is contained in DoD Manual 1348.33, Volume 2: MANUAL OF MILITARY DECORATIONS AND AWARDS: DOD SERVICE AWARDS – CAMPAIGN, EXPEDITIONARY, AND SERVICE MEDALS, found at: [1]
