The Global War on Terrorism Service Medal is awarded for service on or after which date?

• A. 11 Sep 2001
• B. 11 Sep 2002
• C. 1 Jan 2000
• D. 11 Sep 1999

Answer: (A)

The event being tested is the starting date for the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal. This medal recognizes service in support of the Global War on Terrorism beginning on the date the operations began: 11 September 2001. Therefore, service on or after that date qualifies. The other dates are outside the official starting point: they’re either before the GWOT began or well after the actual start, so they do not define when eligibility starts.
