Re: Operational Awards, MantiCon 2018
GRYPHON FLEET ORDER 1806-B, 15JUN2018

I am honored to command the host fleet for MantiCon 2018, one of the largest scale operations undertaken by The Royal Manticoran Navy (TRMN).

The MANTICORAN AND HAVENITE 1905-1922 WAR MEDAL is awarded to all attendees of MantiCon 2018 who were not previously awarded the medal for HonorCon 2017 attendance.

As MantiCon 2018 was an Admiralty level event, all volunteers are additionally awarded the HAVENITE WAR CAMPAIGN MEDAL (HWC). The percentage of total MantiCon attendees who contributed to the successful operation through active volunteer participation is approximately 50%, a figure that most conventions could only dream of, and a testament to the engagement of our organization. These volunteers included spacers, marines, soldiers, and civilians from at least 42 ships in seven fleets, and all of the Admiralty bureaus, with personnel representing the Manticoran, Grayson, Havenite, and Andermani armed forces.

Notable also is that more than half of MantiCon’s volunteers traveled from a great enough distance to be awarded the Silesian Anti-Piracy Campaign Medal (SAPC) in addition to the HWC.

The achievement awards following the HWC and SAPC below are issued on the recommendation of the convention chairs based on the after action reports and citations of department heads. As this was the final MantiCon in its original venue, continuity of service over the past four years is taken into account where applicable. Achievement awards issued in this order include only those for which a fleet commanding officer has issuing authority. Additional awards are to be forthcoming in the next quarterly awards list from Admiralty.

The challenge in compiling a list of all participating members (i.e. those who did not merely attend, but also performed volunteer work for the convention) is that in addition to those who are officially on the volunteer list and on department rosters, many people stepped up and pitched in on the spot. These members’ names are not recorded, so we depend on the recollection of the staff. Further, we depend on those heads to give an account of number of hours worked and outstanding contributions. Those members who volunteered (were on a panel or performed at least an hour of service for the convention would be a good rule of thumb standard) but are NOT listed below should contact chair[at]manticon[dot]org with name, rank, chapter, and description of their activity. If necessary, an addendum to this order will be gazetted.

The following TRMN personnel performed qualifying volunteer activity for MantiCon 2018 and are hereby awarded the HAVENITE WAR CAMPAIGN MEDAL . For any personnel who have previously been awarded the HWC in 2018 this does not constitute an additional award.
