The "COL" is the highest honour awarded for "extraordinary heroism" within the regiment, granted only to those who demonstrate bravery well beyond the call of duty, often at great personal risk. This medal embodies the pinnacle of valour and sacrifice, marking its recipients as exemplars of the most esteemed virtues and commitment. Its rarity and prestige underscore the exceptional nature of the deeds it acknowledges, making it a symbol of ultimate honour and distinction in service. 

The "EOL" represents the second highest distinction, conferred exclusively upon leaders who have demonstrated unparalleled excellence in duty performance and made significant contributions to the regiment. This honour is a testament to the recipient's superior leadership, commitment, and impactful service.
