	Marine Corps Brevet Medal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Also known as the “Brevet Medal”, the decoration was considered to be the equivalent of the Navy Cross since those receiving the award had received field commissions as Marine Corps officers, under combat conditions, and had performed feats of distinction and gallant service.
		In 1940, the Marine Corps declared the Brevet Medal obsolete since all but one of the original recipients were at that time deceased.
		The medal was never again issued, since the concept of brevet commissions was phased out of the United States military to be replaced by temporary and field commissions which were awarded much more frequently than brevet ranks.
