Distinguished Warfare
It was created on 14 February 2013 to recognise combat contributions from drone pilots and cyber warriors, to be the ninth highest warfare medal honour in the US. In the face of considerable criticism it was cancelled two months later to be replaced with a special pin or device that would be attached to already existing medals or ribbons.
