Outstanding unit citation.

The governor may award an outstanding unit citation of appropriate design with accompanying individual ribbon to any recognized unit of the national guard or state defense force which, through outstanding effort of all its members, has excelled in the performance of its duty and mission for a period of service in a manner that clearly exceeds that of other units, within or without the state, similar in composition or mission. In extraordinary circumstances a "V" device may be awarded to denote valor exemplified by the unit.
