The General Service Medal (1962 GSM, originally referred to as the Campaign Service Medal), is a campaign medal of the United Kingdom introduced in 1962 to replace both the General Service Medal (1918), as awarded to the Army and RAF, and the Naval General Service Medal (1915).

Over 130,000 GSM (NI) medals were awarded from 14th August 1969, eligibility for the Northern Ireland Clasp ceased at midnight on 31st July 2007. This was a period of almost 38 years long, the longest period for any operational clasp. To be awarded the medal soldiers had to have completed 30 operational duties.

The General Service Medal with Northern Ireland Clasp was awarded for 30 days service between 14th August 1969 and 31st July 2007. The General Service Medal 1962 -2007, also referred to as The Campaign Service Medal replaced the GSM (Army & RAF) and the Navy GSM in 1964 and was backdated to December 1962 to cover the Borneo campaign.

General Service Medal GSM-CSM 1962-2007 was instituted for award to personnel of all services, and thus did away with the need for separate Army and Navy general service medals. Awards range from a mere 70 for South Vietnam to over 130,000 for service in Northern Ireland.

The General Service Medal 1962 was awarded to Army, Royal Navy and RAF personnel for campaigns and operations that fell short of full-scale war.
