U.S. Navy Expert Rifleman Medal Ribbon is an original ribbon to the Navy Expert Rifleman Medal, manufactured in the U.S.A. in accordance with appropriate U.S. Government specifications.

A medal ribbon is a narrow strip of ribbon of the color prescribed for a particular order or decoration, mounted on a small metal bar equipped with an attaching device, worn (primarily) on the uniform instead of a full-size medal.

The arrangement of colors on a ribbon is usually identical to that of the ribbon prescribed for a particular medal. Ribbons are worn (with very few exceptions) on the left side of the chest, in the order determined by the seniority of the decoration.

The Navy Expert Rifleman Medal is the highest award that a Sailor can receive for a rifle qualification. The current qualifying rifles are the M16 or M4. The medal is only worn if the recipient has achieved Expert status with a qualified weapon.

If they have achieved the Expert status, the service ribbon is worn with a silver E device. A blank ribbon is worn if they have received the Marksman qualification and a bronze S device if they have the Sharpshooter qualification. 

Medal first issued in 1969. Normal qualification tests include shooting while kneeling, standing and prone.
