The Australian Active Service Medal (AASM) is an Australian military decoration. It was authorised on 13 September 1988 to recognise prescribed service in "warlike" operations, backdated to February 1975.[1] It is awarded with a clasp to denote the prescribed operation and subsequent awards of the medal are made in the form of additional clasps.[2] In 2012, it was announced that the medal would no longer be issued for future operations, with the AASM and the Australian Service Medal being replaced by the Australian Operational Service Medal.[3]
