勲章と褒賞

歴史
1885年2月、Leopold II王によってベルギーのMilitary Crossが創設されました。王室は、長期間にわたり軍で忠実に任務を果たした将校を称えるための専用の勲章を望んでいました。これは、将校が軍でのキャリアを重ねるにつれて、明確な達成の階段を示すものでした。この勲章は2つの等級に分かれています。二等(Second Class)は25年間の名誉ある将校としての勤務に対して授与され、一等(First Class)はより高い年功序列に達したか、さらなる勤務年数を経た後に授与されます。一等には、リボンにロゼットが付いています。20世紀から21世紀を通じて、Military Crossは献身的な将校の証であり続けています。現在も、平時や戦時においてベルギー軍を率いる指揮官たちに授与されています。
