The Republic of Korea Presidential Unit Citation (Hangul: 대한민국 대통령 부대 표창; Hanja: 大韓民國大統領部隊表彰) is a military unit award issued by the government of South Korea to both South Korean and foreign military units. The last major issuance of the decoration was during the Korean War when the unit decoration was bestowed to several American, British, and Commonwealth military units. By order of the South Korean government, the award was also retroactively authorized to every unit of the United States Army which had deployed to Korean Peninsula between 1950 and 1954. The award was also awarded to Commander, U.S. Marine Corps Forces Korea for service between 9 December 1999 to 24 April 2002.
