The Military Order of Achievement (Arabic: وسام الأمجاد العسكري, romanized: Wisam al-Amjad al-Easkarii), also called the Military Order of Glory, is an order of Oman.[1]
History
[edit]The order was established in 1995 by Sultan Qaboos bin Said to coincide with his 25th anniversary on the throne.[2] It is made of three classes that are awarded to officers who have served for 25 years.[3]
Insignia
[edit]The insignia is made by Spink & Son. The first class has a collar, sash with badge, and star while the second class has a neck ribbon with badge and star and the third class only has a neck ribbon with badge. The ribbon is blue with a center red stripe and narrow white borders. The design of the badge and star are the same. It features the crown of Oman on red enamel with a blue enamel border surrounded by 25 palm fronds symbolizing Sultan Qaboos' 25 years on the throne.[4]
