The Order of the Combat Cross (Armenian: Մարտական խաչ շքանշան) is a state award of Armenia. It is awarded mostly to members of the Armed Forces of Armenia among other for absolute courage, selflessness and skill in defending the Fatherland. The law on the Order of the Combat Cross has been in effect since April 22, 1994. The Battle Cross is worn on the left side of the chest, after the Order of the Fatherland. The family of a deceased person awarded the "Battle Cross" Order benefits from the privileges established by the legislation of the National Assembly of Armenia.
There are two degrees to the Order of the Combat Cross.
