Editing Mentioned in dispatches (section)

=== Australia ===
Australian service personnel are no longer eligible to be mentioned in dispatches. Since 15 January 1991, when the [[Australian Honours System]] was established, the MiD has been replaced by the Australian decorations: the Commendation for Gallantry and the Commendation for Distinguished Service. Similarly, the equivalents of the MiD for acts of bravery by civilians and by soldiers not engaged with the enemy have also been reformed. The reformed and comprehensive system is now as follows:
* The [[Commendation for Gallantry]] is now the fourth level decoration for gallantry.
* The [[Commendation for Brave Conduct]] recognises acts of bravery carried out by soldiers not directly fighting the enemy and by civilians in war or peace.
* The [[Commendation for Distinguished Service]], a third level distinguished service decoration, recognises distinguished general service, for exemplary performance in fields such as training, maintenance and administration.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.itsanhonour.gov.au/honours/awards/medals/commendation_distinguished_service.cfm|title=Commendation for Distinguished Service|work=It's an Honour.gov.au|publisher=Australian Government|access-date=2009-05-27}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.itsanhonour.gov.au/honours/awards/medals/commendation_gallantry.cfm|title=Commendation for Gallantry|work=It's an Honour.gov.au|publisher=Australian Government|access-date=2009-05-27}}</ref>
