All MFMC awards fall into one of three categories' Achievement, Service or Training. In -ALL- Matters of precedence, Achievement awards are worn ahead of Service ribbons, which are worn above/ahead of Trainging ribbons. Only the 'Order of the Maquis' is ever set alone. With that sole exception, ribbons are added in the order earned.<br><br>

− | In the last week, during the editing of these pages and this page in particular, a comment made by an individual who had contributed to the raw code was inadvertantly posted. This comment expressed a view of SOC operatives which is counter to the MFMC membership and General Staff's and it in no way shape or form was endorsed by the Commmandant, or the MFMC as a whole. The comment in question represented only the views and opinions of an individual who has departed MFI quite some time ago, and was present only in a section of proposed pages for the HTML site, precedig this wikki site. In response to official request from MFI SOC Command, the MFMC Commandant hereby apologizes for the comments of that individual, and their slipping through the editing net.
