ECOMOG Operation Liberty Liberia service medal.
The Economic Community of West African States Monitoring Group (ECOMOG) was a peacekeeping force established by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in 1990. It was deployed to Liberia to intervene in the First Liberian Civil War, aiming to restore peace and stability to the region. The operation was significant for its multinational composition and its role in a complex and protracted conflict.

This particular medal, associated with Operation Liberty in Liberia (1990-1997), recognizes the service of individuals who participated in this peacekeeping mission. Such medals are awarded to military and civilian personnel as a mark of honor and remembrance for their contributions to the mission’s objectives. They serve as tangible historical artifacts representing a specific period of international intervention and peacekeeping efforts in West Africa.
