Yes I think it is. IIRC it's what Veritas was rolled into with all the other bits and pieces going on in and around 3rd Foot and Mouth's bit of the Empire! I think there may also be a NATO gong if you go in country (or at least there will be once they get out there), although I believe it's one or the other rather than both for one tour - unless any one has managed to wangle them both.
Just don't get sent to do your AF service in Qatar, the choc ice capital of the deployed air force - you don't get anything apart from a suntan for that one!
