32 C.F.R. § 578.134 Certificate of Achievement.
Title 32 - National Defense
(a) Commanders may recognize periods of faithful service, acts, or achievements which do not meet the standards required for decorations by issuing to individual U.S. military personnel a DA Form 2442 (Certificate of Achievement) or a Certificate of Achievement of local design. (b) Certificates of Achievement will be issued under such regulations as the local commander may prescribe. (c) If a locally designed Certificate of Achievement is printed for use according to this regulation, it may bear reproductions of insignia. In the interest of economy, the use of color will be held to a minimum. (d) The citation on such certificates will not be worded so that the act of service performed appears to warrant the award of a decoration. (e) No distinguishing device is authorized for wear to indicate the receipt of a Certificate of Achievement.
