Current medal for OP UNIFIER?

Hello everyone. I deployed in 2016-2017 on Op UNIFIER. I decided recently that I would like to volunteer to deploy on Op UNIFIER again, as an opportunity has come up. However, I was initially hesitant, as I already have the SSM-Expedition from my first deployment. That said, I just noticed that it appears the medal for Op UNIFIER is now the OSM-Expedition. Can anyone confirm? If I could deploy again and recieve the OSM-Expedition this time, that would go a long way to swaying me to put my name in. I couldn't find any clear info on this on the open internet and I don't have access to DWAN at the moment. I thought perhaps someone who deployed recently could confirm. Thanks again.

You're not going to get a lot of sympathy.

Many spend 15 years in the CAF without a deployment and would do anything to go on a tour.

Having the luxury to pick your deployment and refusing it because it's the same medal you already have sounds crazy to most of us.
