Order of Saint Maurice (United States)

For the Italian order of knighthood, see Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus.

Order of Saint Maurice (OSM) was established in 1996 to recognize the significant contributions made by Infantrymen, Infantry supporters, and spouses. The concept was designed in the pattern of the Cavalry & Armor Association's Order of St. George Medallion and is awarded by the National Infantry Association (NIA) and the Chief of Infantry of the United States Army. It is named after Saint Maurice, the leader of the Roman Theban Legion in the 3rd century.
