The Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal (MOVSM) was instituted by Executive Order 12830 signed by President George H. W. Bush on January 9, 1993

The MOVSM recognizes those members of the military (active duty, reserve and national guard) who perform substantial volunteer service to the local community above and beyond the duties required as a member of the United States Armed Forces. Such volunteer service must be made in a sustained and direct nature towards the civilian community, must be significant in nature to produce tangible results, and must reflect favorably on the military service and the United States Department of Defense. The definition of volunteer service is left intentionally vague, allowing for a wide variety of activities and volunteer duties which would qualify a service member for the Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal. Typical volunteer work includes Volunteer Emergency Services (like the Civil Air Patrol or volunteer firefighting / EMS / Rescue Squad), Habitat for Humanity, soup kitchen work, etc
