Iraqi Campaign Medal with Campaign Star

I was in OIF from September 11, 2008 to Sept 11, 2009, and was just curious, it says I have the campaign star with it, so that would be a single bronze star, correct?

Enter your Response to Iraqi Campaign Medal with Campaign Star.

That's correct...basic medal plus a bronze star for each campaign. Here's a list of the campaign periods if it helps:
Liberation of Iraq - March 19 to May 1, 2003
Transition of Iraq - May 2, 2003 to June 28, 2004
Iraqi Governance - June 29, 2004 to Dec. 15, 2005
National Resolution - Dec. 16, 2005, until a date to be determined

Ok cool. Thank you for the help, Sir!

For the Air Force side, If you have the medal in your records without a star it comes up flagged as improper number of devices. As far as I know, across the board you cannot have the ribbon without at least one device.

Just wanted to let you know that there has been a date set for the National Resolution phase and there are two new phases....Check it out at armytimes.com

Bronze campaign stars recognizing the 2007-08 surge of U.S. troops into Iraq, as well as current stabilization efforts, have been authorized for wear on the Iraq Campaign Medal, the Pentagon announced Thursday.

The surge campaign phase has been established as running from Jan. 1, 2007, to Dec. 31, 2008; the second campaign star, for the phase identified as �Iraqi Sovereignty,� began Jan. 1, 2009, and will continue through a date to be determined.

Although all who have served in �direct support� in the Iraq war on or after March 13, 2003, are authorized to wear the medal, the stars recognize designated campaigns during the war.

Four previous phases had been identified, and service members who have qualified for the Iraq Campaign Medal can display a bronze campaign star on their medal for each designated campaign phase in which they took part.

The other four phases, announced previously, are: �

� Liberation of Iraq � March 19, 2003, to May 1, 2003.

� Transition of Iraq � May 2, 2003, to June 28, 2004.

� Iraqi Governance � June 29, 2004, to Dec. 15, 2005.�

� The �National Resolution� phase � Dec. 16, 2005, to Jan. 9, 2007.

Troops should contact their respective military departments for specific implementation guidance, the Pentagon said.

OK, here is the most updated info per milper message put out NOV2011
Liberation of Iraq � March 19 to May 1, 2003
Transition of Iraq � May 2, 2003 to June 28, 2004
Iraqi Governance � June 29, 2004 to December 15, 2005
National Resolution � December 16, 2005 to January 9, 2007
Iraqi Surge - January 10, 2007 to December 31, 2008
Iraqi Sovereignty - January 1, 2009 to August 31, 2010
New Dawn - September 1, 2010 - to a date to be determined

SHOULD THE SOLDIER�S INITIAL INCLUSIVE PERIOD OF DEPLOYMENT OVERLAP ONE OR MORE OF THE APPROVED CAMPAIGN PHASES, THE SOLDIER IS CREDITED FOR PARTICIPATION IN EACH APPLICABLE PHASE AND WILL BE ENTITLED TO THE APPROPRIATE NUMBER OF BRONZE SERVICE STARS.


thus you are in 2 different campaigns so you have 2 different stars.
