History

Established by the Swedish Armed Forces, this Medal is conferred upon military personnel who, during international operations, have been wounded in wartime.

Foreign military personnel are eligible to receive this Medal if the individual has rendered service, and was wounded, while under the command of the Swedish Armed Forces.

This Medal is conferred on a red ribbon consisting of a black stripe down the middle. The red is intended to symbolize the blood shed of the recipient, and the black is intended to symbolize mourning.

The Gold Medal is conferred posthumously to individuals who had been killed during wartime.
