The Department of the Army Achievement Medal for Civilian Service is awarded for noteworthy achievements that are of a lesser degree than those recognized by the Commander's Award for Civilian Service. It was approved by the Army Chief of Staff, on 24 August 1987. It is the fifth highest award in the Department of the Army Honorary Awards scheme for Department of the Army employees, ranking just below the Commander's Award for Civilian Service. It consists of a medal, lapel pin, and certificate.

Any commander Lieutenant Colonel and above, or civilian equivalent, may approve this award. A nomination normally covers either a period of sustained superior service or a level of achievement sufficient to warrant this recognition. This medal is comparable to the Army Achievement Medal. All Department of the Army civilian employees paid from appropriated and non-appropriated funds and indirect-hire foreign nationals are eligible for consideration. Eligibility should be determined by measuring contributions against the following examples of achievement:
