Belgium: The Commemorative Medal for Foreign Missions or Operations (La Medaille Commemorative pour Missions ou Operations l'Etranger). With clasp 'Sharp Vigilance'

Complete with clean length of original silk riband and contained in it's red card box of issue

The commemorative medal for foreign missions and operations was instituted on 13 April 1993.

A large number of clasps have been officially approved for award with this medal, together with a number of unofficial clasps for missions for which no clasp was formally approved, and or which were the inspiration of Belgian veterans who had served in those places & operations for which no clasp was formally instituted

In 2004, it was decreed that no further clasps would be awarded for wear on this medal, and instead that all missions since 2004 would be denoted by a numeric emblem worn on the riband to reflect the number of overseas missions or operations that personnel may have served in. The change in regulations

Personnel who have been awarded medals and clasps prior to 2004, are still allowed to wear the medal clasps earned prior to 2004, on the medal riband while serving in the Belgian Armed Forces.
