              authorities to groups or teams which do not constitute a Coast Guard unit (i.e., 
              non-OPFAC small groups, such as teams, detachments, or sub-units).   To justify this 
              award, the individual members of these groups must have performed service which made 
              a significant contribution to the group's overall outstanding accomplishment of a study, 
              process, mission, etc.   The service performed as a group or team must be of a character 
              comparable to that which would merit the award of the Commandant's Letter of 
              Commendation or higher to an individual. AP2.1.2.12.3.  The Operational Distinguishing Device shall be worn on 
            the ribbon bar if specifically authorized by the citation.   Gold stars are worn to denote
