Commendations of

McKennsy Ground Pounders Medal :
For Enlisted pesonnel (NCO's)

Lyran Commonwealth recruiting Medal :
Here is something for those hard core recruiters

The Commonwealth Medal of Honor:
The Commonwealth Medal of Honor is the highest award the Archon can give to an individual. It honors any soldier in the LCAF who, by his actions, somehow snatches victory from the jaws of defeat. The medal is a large silver disk with a single gold star upon it. It hangs from a gold bar made of three pieces, each symbolizing one of the three allied domains comprising the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth Medal of Honor has three grades; diamond clusters, gold oak leaf clusters, and silver bars.

LCAF Unit citation of Merit:
Outstanding achievement as a unit
NOTE: this is ribbon format only

House Steiner Letter of commendation:
Lance commanders, and force commanders may award warriors under their command with a Letter of Commendation. The award of the ribbon is accompanied by a letter from the warrior's C.O. chronicling the actions of the recipient. This is often used as a tool to let warrior's know they are on the track toward promotion, although the actual conditions of award are up to the discretion of the Force Commander.

Knight's Cross to the Order of Tharkad:
The Knight's Cross to the Order of Tharkad, is traditionally awarded to senior command staff officers only, but has been awarded on rare occasion to valiant warriors who come to the aid of the Archon in a great hour of need. The Knight's Cross is accompanied by a land grant from the Archon's own personal holdings neighboring the Palace on Tharkad.
This is a great symbol of the Archon's deepest gratitude for loyal and exemplary service.

Sharpshooter's Badge:
This badge is presented to warriors who have completed the training for, and demonstrated an extreme degree of proficiency in mech gunnery.

Campaign Ribbons:
Each campaign that House Steiner embarks upon, is denoted with it's own ribbon, so that members of the LCAF may have a visible reminder of the debt owed to them by the commonwealth, that can not possibly be repaid. Often stars are pinned on the ribbon to represent solo mech kills during that campaign. - 5 kills, -1 kill.
