In the period up to 1979, there have been 56 awards. The first Naval small-arms championship to compete for the Medal took place in 1966. Since then, the Royal Navy Small Arms Meeting has been held annually on the National Rifle Ranges at Bisley, Surrey, except in 1991, when no competition was held as a result of the Gulf War. The competition consists of a series of combat shooting matches encompassing attack, defence, fighting in built-up areas and close-quarter shooting.
