Award DescriptionThe GUC requires a lesser degree of gallantry, determination and esprit de corps than that required for the Presidential Unit Citation (PUC). The unit must have performed with marked distinction under difficult and hazardous conditions in accomplishing its mission so as to set it apart from and above other units participating in the same conflict. The degree of heroism required is the same as that which would warrant award of the Silver Star to an individual. The GUC will normally be earned by units that have participated in single or successive actions covering relatively brief time spans. Only on rare occasions will a unit larger than a group qualify for the GUC. Extended periods of combat duty or participation in a large number of operational missions, either air or ground, is not sufficient. Additional awards of the Gallant Unit Citation are denoted by oak leaf clusters. ==Cited units== The only units to date that have received this award are the 352d Special Operations Group,[3] the 332d Air Expeditionary Group,[4] the 16th Operations Group (redesignated as the 1st Special Operations Group in 2006),[5] and the 720th Special Tactics Group,[6] as well as units subordinate to each during the cited time frame.
