“A Presidential Unit Citation (PUC) is the highest award given to a unit of the U.S. armed forces for extraordinary heroism, gallantry, and outstanding performance in action against an armed enemy. It is awarded by the president and recognizes the unit's exceptional courage, determination, and esprit de corps under extremely difficult and hazardous conditions. The award's name was previously the Distinguished Unit Citation, but it was redesignated as the Presidential Unit Citation in 1957.”
