The Navy Fleet Marine Force Service Ribbon,^[1] was a military award of the United States Navy established in 1984 by Secretary of the Navy, John F. Lehman, Jr.^[1] The service ribbon was awarded to eligible Navy personnel serving with the Marine Corps between 1984 and 2006. The award signified the acquisition of specific professional skills, knowledge and military experience that resulted in qualifications above those normally required of Navy personnel serving with the Fleet Marine Force (FMF). The FMF Ribbon was discontinued in the mid-2000s due to the promulgation of the FMF badges.
