The King’s Commendation for Valuable Service (KCVS) is awarded for meritorious service in an operational theatre. It can only be awarded on an individual basis; it cannot be awarded to a team. It is long standing policy that the details of the operational activity for which a KCVS is awarded are not released into the public domain.
