Which campaign's eligibility start date is 15 June 2014?

• A. Inherent Resolve Campaign
• B. Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal
• C. Antarctica Service Medal
• D. Nuclear War Campaign

Answer: (A)

Understanding campaign start dates helps determine which medal fits a specific eligibility window. The operation known as Inherent Resolve began on 15 June 2014, and the campaign medal issued for service in that effort recognizes eligibility starting from that date. So the campaign whose eligibility start date is 15 June 2014 is the Inherent Resolve Campaign Medal. The other options don’t line up with that date: the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal covers service in GWOT operations that began much earlier, around September 11, 2001; the Antarctica Service Medal is for service in Antarctica rather than a specific combat campaign; and the Nuclear War Campaign isn’t an official recognized campaign medal.
