Additional DLSM Clasps can be added by using the DLSM Clasp

This esteemed medal group is comprised of the Australian Active Service Medal (AASM) with the ICAT Clasp, the Afghanistan Medal, the Defence Long Service Medal, and the Australian Defence Medal (ADM), all mounted for wear.

The Australian Active Service Medal is a military decoration awarded for active participation in designated warlike operations. The ICAT (International Campaign Against Terrorism) Clasp is specifically awarded for operations in areas such as Afghanistan during the global campaign against terrorism. Recipients of this clasp have served in conditions that meet the criteria for warlike operations.

The Afghanistan Medal is an Australian military award created to acknowledge the service of Australian Defence Force personnel in Afghanistan. The medal recognises those who have completed a minimum period of service within the region, participating in various operations.

The Australian Defence Medal (ADM) recognises Australian Defence Force members who have efficiently completed either an initial enlistment period or four years of service, whichever is the lesser. It highlights the ongoing commitment and contribution to the ADF, including that of Reserve members.

The NATO Medal with the ISAF Clasp is an international military decoration. It is awarded to military personnel who have taken part in North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) operations, particularly within the context of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan. The ISAF Clasp indicates direct service with the ISAF mission under NATO command.

Collectively, these medals serve to honour a wide range of service commitments, from active participation in warlike operations to steadfast dedication to long-term service in the Australian Defence Force. They stand as a strong testament to the sacrifice and commitment of our service men and women.
