General Description : Black, red and yellow enamel cross pattée on laterally-pierced ball suspension; the face with black enamel arms to the cross, a circular medallion centrally imposed with a central black circle bearing the gilt lion rampant of Belgium, encircled by a yellow enamel ring within a red enamel ring inscribed ‘ARMEE DU RHIN RIJN LEGER’; the reverse plain; on original ribbon mounted for wear in the Belgian style. After the end of World War II, Belgian forces formed part of the Army of Occupation of Germany. Subsequently, after Federal Germany became independent, the army remained on German soil as part of NATO forces during the Cold War with various changes of task, size and equipment over the years. In 1995, following the fall of the Berlin Wall, the army was retasked and became part of the Intervention (rapid response) Force, based in Belgium at Saive, near Liège.
