Nishan-E-Haider

The Nishan-E-Haider, (Sign of the Lion), is the highest military award given by Pakistan. It is awarded to select soldiers who display an incredible amount of valor and courage on the battle field in the face of staunch adversity.

The Award

    * Category: Operational (Awarded to members of the Armed Forces during times of conflict)
    * Definition: It is the highest gallantry award and holds seniority among civil and military awards. It is open to all ranks for acts of heroism/conspicuous courage in circumstances of extreme danger or devotion to the country in the presence of the enemy on land, at sea or in the air.

The Nishan-e-Haider is not conditional to the gender of the recipient and neither to the nominatee for the medal being alive or deceased. The medal has been awarded to ten soldiers despite Pakistan having been involved in three wars (1948, 1965, 1971) and a major conflict in Kargil during the summer of 1999.
