This is one of the Auxiliary Annual Service Performance Awards which recognize the individual contributions of Auxiliarists in Auxiliary Recruiting, VE, RBSV, PE, and Operations programs.

Similar to the discontinued AMOS awards, the annual performance awards are to promote activity in critical areas and recognize individual efforts. Annual Performance Service Awards may be issued in the following categories using the following criteria (completed annually by calendar year - 1 January through 31 December), no retroactive entitlement authorized. Once an Auxiliarist is determined to be eligible for an award it may be presented when an appropriate presentation opportunity arises. It is not necessary to wait until the end of the year to present the award.

The awards use the old AMOS ribbons with an additional device to distinguish the new system from the discontinued awards and will include a miniature medal with device and citation. Multiple awards for subsequent years are indicated by adding 3/16-inch bronze or silver stars. One award in each category may be issued to an Auxiliarist each calendar year, as the award is earned. The Annual Performance Auxiliary Recruiting Service Award uses the same ribbon as the discontinued AMOS Member Resources Award with an “S” device, the Auxiliary VE/RBSVP Service Award uses the discontinued AMOS VE ribbon with a “V” device, the Auxiliary PE Service Award uses the discontinued AMOS PE ribbon with an “E” device, and the Auxiliary Operations Service Award uses the discontinued AMOS Operations ribbon with either an “O” or “S” device as prescribed below (only one device may be worn, and the “O” device takes precedence). Auxiliarists may continue to wear the old AMOS ribbons previously earned. When a new ribbon of that same category is awarded under the new system, only the new Annual Performance Service ribbon (with associated device) is worn. For example, when earned, the Annual Performance Auxiliary Recruiting Service Award with an “S” device replaces the wearing of the discontinued AMOS Member Resources Award.
