History - Established 1947
Established on February 6, 1942, the Air Force Presidential Unit Citation recognizes acts of heroism or unusually excellent conduct by operating units of the United States Army of a nature that would warrant the Distinguished Service Cross if performed individually and that sets them apart from other units. It may also be awarded to friendly foreign units. To be eligible, service must have taken place in combat on or subsequent to December 7, 1941.
