Submitting someone for the “Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal” (MOVSM) medal is one of the most satisfying things anyone can do. Not only does it express your appreciation for the Soldier, but the Soldier who was recommended is happy that someone recognized their volunteer e orts and took time to make the recommendation.

MOVSM 101 provides what to consider before writing a nomination, the basics of every MOVSM nomination, and the benefits of receiving the award.
Registration is required and can be done at bliss.armymwr.com. Search "AVC." Open to the Public and DoD ID Card Holders #fortblissvolunteer #fortblissvolunteers
