New Zealand General Service Medal 2002 (Iraq 2015)

The New Zealand General Service Medal 2002 (Iraq 2015) is a New Zealand campaign medal established in 2015. It recognises service by New Zealand Defence Force personnel, and potentially other approved personnel, deployed to Iraq as part of Operation Gallant Pinion between 2015 and 2020. The medal is awarded for 30 days of qualifying service in the designated operational area. The "Iraq 2015" clasp, or bar, is affixed to the ribbon to denote the specific theatre of operations. Subsequent deployments to other theaters under the auspices of the General Service Medal 2002 would be recognized by additional clasps. The medal itself is circular and features the New Zealand Coat of Arms on the obverse. The reverse features a fern frond, a symbol of New Zealand. The ribbon is primarily crimson, with narrow stripes of white, black and white at each edge.
