<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Administration Procedures for Award of Activity and Service Ribbons. The individual member is responsible for preparing and submitting to the unit commander CAP Form 2a, Request for and Approval
of Personnel Actions, when the requirements for an activity or service ribbon have been completed. The CAP Form 2a is then forwarded by the unit commander to the appropriate approving authority. (If the unit commander has been delegated approving authority
by the wing commander as outlined in paragraph 18b, the unit commander simply approves the form and returns it to the recipient for placement in the member’s personnel file.) Upon approval, activity and service ribbons are purchased by the awarding unit or
by the individual recipient, as appropriate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
