The Navy Arctic Service Medal is a decoration of the United States Navy which was established in May 1986 and subsequently upgraded to a medal in 2024. The Medal is authorized to any member of the U.S. Navy or United States Marine Corps for service above the Arctic Circle. Like the Antarctica Service Medal, it may also be awarded to civilians and members of other U.S. services.
