On 30 March 2026 the President of the French Republic signed a decree awarding the Médaille militaire to three named non-commissioned officers of the French Army who were wounded and cited during external operations. The awards take effect from 31 December 2025 and automatically include the Croix de la Valeur militaire with a bronze palm. The recipients are Maréchal des logis-chef Maxime Franquin (15 years of service, Armoured Cavalry), Caporal-chef de 1re classe Guillaume Frémont (16 years of service, Marine Troops), and Maréchal des logis Erowa Kramo (11 years of service, Armoured Cavalry). The decree was issued after verification by the Council of the Order of the Légion d’honneur that all legal requirements were met. These concessions cancel any prior citations for the same acts.
