''Main Article: [[Royal Manticoran Army Awards]]'' <br>
Some awards, such as the [[Parliamentary Medal of Valor]], are issued to qualifying personnel of Manticoran military branches.
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 [[Royal Manticoran Navy]] and [[RMMC|Marine Corps]].  Several, such as the [[Meritorious Service Medal]], have the same name but a different colored ribbon for the RMA.
