The Swedish Göta Luftvaernskårs Minnes Medalj(Swedish: Göta Regimental Achievement Medal) is a decoration of the Försvarsmakten, the armed forces of The Kingdom of Sweden .

This decoration may be achieved by either combat or noncombat actions based on sustained performance or specific achievement by distinguishing oneself.


The Göta Regimental Achievement Medal was first proposed as a means to recognize the contributions of junior officers and junior enlisted personnel who were not eligible to receive an higher award. The achievements of foreign military personnel must be accomplished with distinction above and beyond that normally expected of professional military members.


The award authority rests with the Göta Regimental awards board, granting a broad discretion of when and for what action the Göta Regimental Achievement Medal may be awarded is all up to the awards board commander.


Design

The medal is silver in colored round metal badge with the Göta Regimental insignia with Laural leafs on the back side, the ribbon is orange, yellow, orange yellow & orange
