The Vishista Seva Vibhushanaya (VSV, Distinguished Service Decoration) (Sinhala: විශිෂ්ට සේවා විභූෂණය viṣiṣta sēvā vibhūṣaṇaya) is awarded to senior officers of the Military of Sri Lanka in recognition of:
...exceptional, distinguished and loyal service provided they count not less than twenty-five years of service and possess an unblemished record of moral and military conduct...
— [1]
Award process
Service commanders are responsible for evaluation of suitable candidates for conferment of the award, and make formal recommendations based on several requirements:
- a rank above Lieutenant Colonel (Army), Commander (Navy) or Wing Commander (Air Force)
- an uninterrupted service period of 25 years or more at the time of consideration
- a personal record clear of entries
Upon successful review, the decoration is usually awarded during the National Day parade (or at a special investiture ceremony) by the President.[2] Recipients are entitled to the use of the post-nominal letters "VSV".[1]
