The Canadian Forces' Unit Commendation (French: [Mention élogieuse à l'intention des unités des Forces canadiennes] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)) is an award given to military units for "a deed or activity considered beyond the demand of normal duty".[1]
Not only Canadian military units are eligible; Commonwealth and foreign units are also eligible if the deed occurred while serving alongside Canadian units.
This commendation is not given for acts in a combat operations zone, but the Commander-in-Chief Unit Commendation exists for such circumstances.
