No it isn't.Just one single class...

Thanks for the confirmation of the one class OKP, is there a copy of the regulations that states this?

Regards Eddie.

Unfortunately, I don't know that anyone has seen any regulations on any of these PDRA awards. Friends have looked around in Kabul on my behalf and, not surprisingly, most records haven't survived 30+ years of invasions and civil wars.

Recipients of this award have told me that there was only the one class (as they showed me their impressive groups that they hoped, someday, to be able to wear again).

Thanks Ed,

As this seems to pretty much confirm what OKP wrote I have changed the title to simply Medal for Combat Service.

Document. Unfortunately, to a Soviet, but for obvious reasons they are more common than those to Afghans. I suspect most Afghan recipients have had to hide or destroy their PDRA awards.
