The Pingat Penghargaan (Tentera) (Commendation Medal (Military)) is awarded to any member of the Singapore Armed Forces who has placed himself above his peers through commendable achievements in military command or staff work, or who has performed service over and above the call of duty.

The Pingat Kepujian is the civil equivalent award.
