Stalin himself was awarded serial number 1, in 1939.:) also, check out the Hero of Socialist labor medal in that picture of Brezhnev I posted. The award requirements were far less stringent after WWII, which led to a loss of prestige for the award ( similar as to what happened with the Order of Lenin ).
The award was given to weapons designers, nuclear scientists, etc..just so long as it furthered the development of socialism. So I guess there wouldn't be a problem with it being awarded to military personnel so long as the requirments of the award was met.
