The medal may also be awarded to people working for the benefit of reservists or to those who promote the mission of the volunteer reservists.[1]

This medal was created to replace the Medal for voluntary military service. Recipients of the Medal for voluntary military service may continue to wear it. Individuals may not wear it if they have been awarded the Defence and Internal Security Volunteer Reservists Medal in a higher grade as the medals are seen as being the same.[1]
