The Mexican Border Service Medal was awarded to military service members who served on the U.S.-Mexico border between January 1, 1916, and April 6, 1917.

The bronze medal is 1 1/4 inches in diameter. On the obverse shows in 1916, the U.S. conducted what is known as the Pancho Villa Expedition or the Mexican operation led by General John J. Pershing to capture the Mexican revolutionary Francisco "Pancho" Villa, who had attacked the town of Columbus, New Mexico. This medal commemorates the service of those who were part of this expedition or who were involved in related duties along the U.S.-Mexico border.
