N.M. Stat. § 20-10-12.3
Community service ribbon.
The adjutant general may award the community service ribbon to a member of the
national guard of New Mexico or New Mexico state defense force for substantial or
particularly meaningful community service above and beyond the duties required. A
member's community service must contribute to the well-being of the civilian
community, including the military family community. Service must be significant in
nature and produce tangible results. There is not a specific time period of community
service that must be performed to qualify for the award. Actions performed in
accordance with regular duty requirements are not to be considered for the award.
Community service may not result in a personal gain for the service member.
