The badge had two designs:
Both badge styles were awarded for three combat engagements on three different days.
The badge is an oval wreath composed of eight oak leaves on the left and seven oak leaves on the right. The first design was entirely silver and the second had a black wreath.
The badge was presented in a paper packet with the name of the award printed on the outside.
