Original Companions are commissioned officers of the U.S. Army, Navy, and
Marine Corps, and of State and Territorial Military Organizations, who
subsequent to the year 1900, engaged in military service, in conflicts, battles,
or actual field service against hostile Indians within the jurisdiction of the United
States, or whose service was within the zone of any recognized Indian campaign.
Traditionally, eligibility for membership would require an applicant to be
a direct descendant of a commissioned United States Army Officer,
who saw combat action during any of the American Indian Campaigns
from 1776-1900.
However, in order to further perpetuate the Order, OIWUS may still
consider granting membership if the applicant's ancestor saw combat
against Indians while serving in a military unit or militia of either
the British Colonial Crown (1600-1776) or The United States of America
(1776-1900), regardless of rank. Inquires must be made to me
through standard U.S. postal mail.
Membership is by invitation only.
