[7] The order is awarded by the President of South Ossetia for displaying heroism and performing feats during the military conflicts.

In May 2012, a meeting of the Knights of the Order discussed the draft law on the status of the award, which was planned to be submitted for consideration by the government on June 10 of the same year.

In particular, it was assumed that persons awarded this order will be able to count on free medical care, education, travel in public transport and the receipt or construction of real estate.

[9] The ribbon of the order consists of three equally wide alternating stripes, two red and one white, with a yellow border on the sides.

The insignia looks like an eight-pointed silver star, partially covered with ruby enamel, with two gold crossed swords.
