Presidential Inauguration Support Ribbon

The Presidential Inauguration Support Ribbon is the United States National Guard military decoration awarded to National Guardsmen who support U.S. Presidential Inaugurations and meet certain criteria.

In response to the Capitol Hill riot on January 6, 2021, elements from the National Guard of all 50 states, territories, and the District of Columbia were mobilized to enhance security before, during, and after the 2021 Presidential Inauguration.

[1] The ribbon is presently authorized for any National Guard personnel from any state, territory or the District of Columbia who deployed to the area before, during, or after the 59th U.S. Presidential Inauguration on Title 32 orders.

Future periods of inaugural support will also establish eligibility for wear of the ribbon.

Developed by the D.C. National Guard and approved by the Army Institute of Heraldry in late 2020, the ribbon features red, white and blue vertical bands at each end and three red stars centered horizontally on a white background.
