The award has marked a significant milestone in women’s affairs and the women’s movement across the military, reflecting the leadership and direction of the CMC, the MND, and the GDP in recognizing outstanding female collectives and individuals for their achievements during the 2021-2025 period. This year, 15 collectives and 64 individuals were honored for their contribution to training and combat readiness, scientific research, education and training, logistical and technical support, production, culture, arts, sports, and U.N. peacekeeping operations.
