I have only the NATO medal for services in Bosnia (the same one than Redleg). The Spanish Army doesn't award with medals missions overseas, nor courses or anything - they're only for valor and merit awards, so they really meant something. Instead, you got a badge worn in the right side of the uniform, while medals are put over the left pocket, where I only have the airborne hunter's course wings.

Army Commendation Medal (2)
Army Achievement Medal (4)
Army Reserve Overseas Training Ribbon
Army Overseas
National Defense Medal
Good Conduct Medal
Army Reserve Achievement Medal (3)
Expert Rifle
Drivers Badge (track)

The expert rifle badge should be a bronze distinguished riflemans badge for my 4 points but you know how the military forgets things after a change of command...

I'd say it means "Norwegian department of the international shooting union." But I'm not sure...
