The Republic of Vietnam Cross of Gallantry with Palm Unit Citation (the Citation) was awarded by the former Government of the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam) to military units that distinguished themselves in battle. Initially, only a limited number of Australian units across the three services were approved to accept and wear the Citation emblem.
 
All Australian military units under the operational control of the United States Military Assistance Command Vietnam are now eligible for the Citation emblem.
Please note that approval to wear the Citation emblem does not give a person the authority to wear the Republic of Vietnam Cross of Gallantry (Medal) which is an individual decoration awarded to a number of Australians by the Government of the Republic of Vietnam in recognition of individual acts of gallantry.
