The Superior Civilian Service Award is the third highest award of the Department of the Army Honorary Awards for Department of the Army Employees. It consists of a medal, lapel pin and certificate. It is granted by any commander of the rank of Major General and above, or civilian equivalent.

Nominations for this award reflect superior service, achievement or heroism of a lesser degree than that recognized by the Meritorious Civilian Service Award. Employees who have shown excellent performance through the previous receipt of honorary or monetary performance awards, can be considered for this award. Eligibility is determined by measuring contributions against the following example levels of achievement:

The medal of the award is a bronze disc 32 mm in diameter. On the obverse is the central portion of the Department of the Army Seal encircled by the words, in relief, “SUPERIOR CIVILIAN SERVICE”. The edge is encircled by a laurel wreath. The reverse contains the inscription “DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY” arching along the upper edge, while the lower edge contains a laurel wreath, extending up to the inscription. The medal is suspended from a crimson ribbon 35 mm in width with four thin white stripes in the center.
