==Awards & Honor Societies==
 
===Medals and Decorations===
''Main Article: [[Royal Manticoran Army Awards]]'' <br>
Many of the army gallantry awards have a different name and insignia from equivalent precedence awards used by the [[Royal Manticoran Navy]] and [[RMMC|Marine Corps]].  For example, the army's [[Cormany Star]] is equivalent to the [[Manticore Cross]].
 
Some awards, such as the [[Parliamentary Medal of Valor]], are issued to qualifying personnel of all Manticoran military branches.  For these, the same award would be issued to a spacer, marine, or soldier.
 
In other cases the RMA has awards that are distinct from, but parallel to those of the [[RMN]] and [[RMMC]].  Several, such as the [[Meritorious Service Medal]], have the same name but a different colored ribbon for the RMA.
 
Additionally, in TRMN the Marshal of the Army is the awarding authority for the [[Royal Household Distinguished Service Medal]], which is awarded to civilians and military personnel of all branches.
 
===Weapons Qualification Badges===
[[File:RMA Marksmanship.jpg|right|RMA Weapons Qualification badges]]
The RMA awards the all-metal [[Weapons Qualification Badge]] for qualifications in various weapons, as distinguished from the ribbon suspended medals awarded for marksmanship in the RMN and RMMC.  The ranks, in ascending order, are Marksman, Sharpshooter, Expert, and High Expert, and qualifying weapons include rifle, pistol, plasma rifle, and tri-barrel.<ref> [https://www.bunine.org/landing/images/share/BuNine_HOS_Color_RMA_RMMC_140608.pdf BuNine pdf, page 5] </ref>
 
[[File:CIB.png|350px|right|Combat Infantry Badge]]
===Combat Infantry Badge===  
The '''[[BuPers:QualificationBadges:CIB|Combat Infantry Badge]]''' (CIB) is awarded to TRMN personnel though qualifying activity in marksmanship, charity, academics, and event participation. <ref>[https://forums.trmn.org/viewtopic.php?f=374&t=16573&p=42199 Army Directive 2111-05: Combat Infantry Badge Updated]</ref>
 
===Monarch's Own Regiment===
'''The [[Monarch's Own]]''' is the elite royal guard regiment of the RMA. In TRMN, membership in the Monarch's Own serves as an honor society for RMA members,<ref>[https://forums.trmn.org/viewtopic.php?f=374&t=16579 Army Directive 2111-09: Composition of the Monarch's Own]</ref> similar to [[HMS Unconquered]] crew in the RMN and RMMC.
 
===Chiron House===
'''[[RMA:SoldiersGuide:SpecialPrograms#Chiron_House|Chiron House]]''' is the honor society of the King Roger I Military Academy.
 
===Queen's Club===
Membership in the '''[[Queen's Club]]''' is offered to Officers of the [[Star Kingdom of Manticore]] and the Grand Alliance who have completed qualifying courses in the King Roger I Military Academy.
 
===Unit Awards===

RMA units may be awarded the following, which take the same form as in the RMN:
*[[List of Honor Citation]]
*[[Royal Unit Citation for Gallantry]]
*[[Royal Meritorious Unit Citation]]


The '''Royal Manticoran Army''' (abbrev. '''RMA''') is a branch of {{trmn}}.
Additionally, RMA units may be awarded the [[Army Regimental Excellence Award]], which is an "E" award similar to the RMN's [[Fleet Excellence Award]], but with a green ribbon instead of the Navy's black.


The RMA High Command is headed by the [[Marshal of the Army]] (abbrev. MotA), who is an ex-officio [[Royal Council]] member. The MotA issues [[Army Directives]], applicable to the RMA's operations, units and personnel (including personnel from other branches operating with the RMA).
RMA units may fly a streamer from the staff of their unit flag for each unit award received.<ref>[[Orders:Army Directive 07-1303]]</ref>


Under the MotA and the RMA Chief of Staff, five Deputy Chiefs of Staff head functions analogous to the [[bureaus]] of the [[RMN]].
