Summary

Description
English: It was originally proposed that a medal be issued to represent victory and the end of organized resistance in the long war in Dhofar Province, for which the General Service Medal had been awarded. It is said that the sultan himself ruled out any “victory” medal, as that misrepresented the sort of national suffering which the war had represented and that what ought to be commemorated, instead, was Al-Sumood, or “Endurance”.
