The Order of Military Merit (French: Ordre du mérite militaire) is a military honour for merit that is, within the Canadian system of honours, the second highest order administered by the Governor in Council[n 1] on behalf of the Canadian monarch.[4]
Created in 1972 to replace a grouping within the Order of Canada, the order was established to recognize members of the Canadian Forces—either regular or reserve personnel—who have demonstrated dedication and devotion beyond the call of duty, achieving conspicuous merit and exceptional military service.[1][2] The three tiers of the order are Commander, Officer, and Member; deserving non-Canadians may also receive honorary appointments to the order.
