ABPP encourages applicants to use an express delivery service, as packages sent via regular USPS mail will be irradiated - a process that destroys photographs and colored paper.

Project areas must be on American soil and/or within U.S. territorial waters.

Battlefield Land - Sites where armed conflict, fighting, or warfare occurred between two opposing military organizations or forces recognized as such by their respective cultures (not civil unrest).

Associated Sites - Sites occupied before, during, or after a battle at which events occurred that had a direct influence on the tactical development of the battle or the outcome of the battle. A site must be associated with a battle in order to be considered an Associated Site.
