The Ulster Defence Regiment Medal is a long service medal awarded to part-time members of the Ulster Defence Regiment. Established in 1982, the medal was awarded for 12 years of long and efficient service, with a bar being awarded for each subsequent six years of qualifying service.[2] Officers awarded the medal were entitled to use the post-nominal UD.[1] The medal was replaced by the Northern Ireland Home Service Medal in 1992.[3] Full-time members of the Ulster Defence Regiment were eligible for the Medal for Long Service and Good Conduct (Ulster Defence Regiment) after 15 years of service.[4]
