Any Navy, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard officer, O-4 through O-6, serving in an intelligence billet is eligible to receive the award, which was established in 2000. An awards committee composed of NIP and NLUS members selects the winner winner who is awarded a certificate of recognition, a commemorative wall plaque, an engraved "spy" telescope, an engraved watch, and a 1-year membership in Navy Intelligence Professionals.
