The Austerlitz Medal is awarded in connection with the annual march commemorating the Battle of Austerlitz (1805). Its design recalls both the French Order of the Legion of Honor, founded by Napoleon Bonaparte, and the broader legacy of the French Revolution in shaping modern Europe.

Obverse (front):
The central motif is a framed star, crowned at the top by the French fleur-de-lis with three petals. Inside the concentric circles stands a double-headed eagle with lion’s legs, symbolizing the city of Slavkov (Austerlitz). The eagle’s feathers and legs are rendered in the form of tactical attack arrows. Around the inner circle is inscribed, in Czech, the motto of the Great French Revolution: “Svoboda, Rovnost, Bratrství” (“Liberty, Equality, Brotherhood”). At the bottom appears the year 1805, marking the date of the battle. The motto and the date are separated by small central dots.

Reverse (back):
The reverse repeats the motif of a five-pointed framed star. Within the concentric circles runs the French version of the revolutionary motto: “Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité.” At the bottom, the year of the battle appears again, this time in Roman numerals: MDCCCV.
The central portrait changes by participation:

1st, 4th, 7th march: Franz I, commander of the Austrian forces.

2nd, 5th, 8th march: Alexander I, commander of the Russian forces.

3rd, 6th, 9th march: Napoleon I Bonaparte, commander of the French forces.
All three leaders are shown in profile, facing left.

Ribbon:
The ribbon is 38 mm wide and red, symbolizing the blood shed by all sides in the battle. It is mounted to the uniform by a horizontal spring pin secured through a hinged fitting. The ribbon is 60 mm in height, with a flat bottom edge. At its lower center is a pierced T-profile that passes between the fleur-de-lis mount and the hinge bridge, with the underside bent outward to lock the medal in place.

Refunds are not possible once your roster has been submitted to the Czech government.

FAQ

  • Who Can Participate

    If you're active duty, Reserve, Guard, a veteran, or a civilian looking to challenge yourself and earn a recognized foreign award, our rucks are for you. We also welcome our international military partners who want to join the challenge.

    Each event is designed so you can complete it anywhere in the world, at your convenience, during the event window. You can participate as a group or go solo, either way, the experience is built for your success!

  • Refund Policy

    Ruck registrations are refundable for 24 hours after registration closes. After this window, registrations become final and non-refundable because we begin the required process of submitting participant information to the Czech or Austrian Military Associations for production scheduling.

    Once your name is submitted for production and verification, these organizations do not offer refunds, and neither can we.

  • When Will My Award Ship

    All Czech and Austrian awards are handmade and verified overseas. Once the event window closes and your ruck submission is confirmed, your medal set enters production with the appropriate foreign military association. We pick up completed awards monthly and ship them as soon as they arrive.

    Our goal is for most awards to be shipped within 4–8 weeks after event completion.
