The Medal for the Military Protection of the Territory (French: "Médaille de la protection militaire du territoire") is a French state decoration established on 13 July 2015 by presidential decree 2015-853[1] and awarded to military personnel of the French Armed Forces for service during national security operations on French national territory. It was created to recognize service following the need for an increased military presence during national security operations following the rise of international terrorism and the many incidents in France over the past years.
