The Advisory Military Sub-Committee (AMSC) is a sub-committee of the Committee on the Grant of Honours, Decorations and Medals (the “HD Committee”) which provides advice to The Sovereign on honours and medals. Following the independent review of medallic recognition by Sir John Holmes in 2012, the AMSC met later in 2012 and 2013. It was then reconstituted in 2019 and has since met on the following dates:

  • 1 May 2019
  • 3 September 2019
  • 15 November 2019
  • 4 February 2020
  • 29 January 2021
  • 26 April 2021
  • 23 June 2021
  • 29 September 2021
  • 26 August 2022
  • 1 June 2023
  • 28 March 2025
