Navy Commendation Medal Summary of Action Examples
Since each award recommendation is evaluated on the merits of the justification, the Summary of Action is critical. It is required in all cases except command awarded Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals at Navy units; all Marine Corps awards require a detailed Summary of Action.
The introductory paragraph in block 25 should list the command, period of action, position held and overall achievement(s). Specific accomplishments which directly bear on the overall achievement should be listed as bullet statements.
Avoid generalities and excessive use of superlatives. Present an objective summary, giving specific 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.

During this time, he was responsible for the training and evaluation of 67 officer candidates while meeting the physical, mental and character standards of commissioned officers according to the Officer Candidate School Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). These standards covered squad level patrolling, infantry tactics and movements, land navigation, and garrison formations. SSgt. Ronish evaluated 38 candidates during the execution of Situational Leadership Events, a pivotal event in the period of instruction that influences the commander's decision to select or dis-enroll candidates to commission as Marine Corps Officers.

His superior performance of his assigned duties reflected credit upon himself and were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service.
