The AFEM for Vietnam is automatically convertible to the VSM. The Armed Forces
Expeditionary Medal was established by Executive Order 10977 signed by President John F.
Kennedy on December 4, 1961. The Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal may be
awarded to members of the Armed Forces of the United States who after 1 July 1958
participate as members of U.S. military units in a U.S. military operation in which
service members of any Military Department participate, in the opinion of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), in significant numbers and encounter during such
participation foreign armed opposition, or are otherwise place in such a position that in
the opinion of the JCS, hostile action by foreign armed forces was
imminent even though it does not materialize.
