The Military Order of Achievement (Arabic: وسام الأمجاد العسكري, romanized: Wisam al-Amjad al-Easkarii), also called the Military Order of Glory, is an order of Oman.

History

The order was established in 1995 by Sultan Qaboos bin Said to coincide with his 25th anniversary on the throne. It is made of three classes that are awarded to officers who have served for 25 years.

Insignia

The insignia is made by Spink & Son. The first class has a collar, sash with badge, and star while the second class has a neck ribbon with badge and star and the third class only has a neck ribbon with badge. The ribbon is blue with a center red stripe and narrow white borders. The design of the badge and star are the same. It features the crown of Oman on red enamel with a blue enamel border surrounded by 25 palm fronds symbolizing Sultan Qaboos's 25 years on the throne.
