The Vietnamese National Order of Vietnam was considered the equivalent decoration for military officers. The Military Merit Medal is awarded or awarded posthumously to Non-Commissioned Officers (including Aspirants) and Enlisted Men in the Armed Forces: who previously received citations at the Armed Forces level; who had been wounded once or many times in combat; who distinguished themselves by their heroic actions; or who served in an honourable manner for at least thirteen years.
