After Spain ceded the Philippines to the United States in 1898, Filipino forces seeking independence fought the U.S. Army in what is now called the Philippine–American War. Major operations ended in 1902, but resistance continued in parts of the islands for years afterward.

Most awards from this period went to soldiers of volunteer and regular infantry regiments for actions in rough, jungle-covered terrain against a determined guerrilla opponent.
