Tamgha-i-Khidmat or Tamgha-e-Khidmat (Urdu: تمغائے خدمت, literally "medal of services") is a military award of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. In Pakistan Army, it is applicable to junior commissioned officers, in addition to the Frontier Corps and the Frontier Constabulary. It is given to those Frontier Constabulary service personnel who are serving or has served under the federal government.[1] This award is also given to chief petty officers of the navy,[2] flight sergeants of the air force and non-commissioned officers with the equivalent ranks of the eligible forces such as land-based army, air force and navy.
