Hi all,

I am trying to identify this medal. Could you help me in doing that?
Thanks

САВО / Среднеазиатский военный округ / Credneaziatskiy voennyy okrug / Central Asian Military District
In more recent times, existing 1965-1989.

Краснознаменный / Red Banner
This honorific was awarded in 1975.

I am thinking this is a памятный знак / pamyatnyy znak / commemerative or memorial badge, not exactly a government award.
