United Nations Iran-Iraq Military Observer Group

United Nations Iran-Iraq Military Observer Group (UNIIMOG) was a United Nations observer mission involving Canadians from 1988-1991.

UN Mandate

United Nations Iran-Iraq Military Observer Group (UNIIMOG) was established in Aug 1988 by the Security Council to supervise the cease-fire and withdrawal of forces.

Canadian Military Involvement

Up to 525 Canadian Forces personnel were deployed to this mission (Operation VAGABOND) at any given time up to Feb 1991, including UNMOs and a signals unit.

Insignia

Ninety days service entitled a Canadian soldier to the UNIIMOG Medal, between 9 Aug 1988 and 28 Feb 1991. The ribbon had a UN blue centre, with the left edge green, white, and red and the right edge black, white, and red, with each edge stripe being 3mm wide.

There were 581 awards of the medal to Canadians.
