Awards Update — Unit Awards and Named-Personnel Lists (Update to MARADMIN 511/25 and 078/25)

MARADMIN 118/26·March 23, 2026·Official source

A recurring awards update authorizing Joint Meritorious Unit Awards, Meritorious Unit Commendations, National Intelligence Meritorious Unit Citations, Air and Space Outstanding Unit Award additions, U.S. Coast Guard awards, and named-personnel lists for specific units and individuals. Applicable to the Total Force; also corrects a clerical error in MARADMIN 511/25 that incorrectly listed MAG-13 and 3D MAW as participating units for the MALS-13 MUC.

This is a routine update — a name list, a set of results, or a recurring notice. There is nothing here to translate into plain English, so the official text is reproduced in full below. Read it on marines.mil
