Summary of Action Examples

Because each award recommendation is evaluated on the merits of the justification, the Summary of Action is critical. It is required for most medals but not for command-awarded Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals at Navy units. All Marine Corps awards require a detailed Summary of Action. When writing the summary of action/justification, avoid generalities and the excessive use of superlatives (unparalleled allegiance to ideals, etc). Be specific and write an objective summary, providing examples of the performance and the manner in which it was accomplished, together with the results and benefits derived. The amount of detail and supporting documentation required depends upon the circumstances and the nature of the award being recommended. In general, a single page will suffice. When additional space is required, add sheets of standard size paper; however, use continuation pages sparingly. Ref NAVSEAINST 1650.1H, 31 Jul 09.
