The 15th Infantry Lom Regiment was founded in 1889. It is included in the 6th Bdin Division until its disbandment in 1945.

This article aims to present the nominations for military awards of the combat flag, as well as the already awarded decorations, enlisted in the service book of the flag.

The Award Decorations list of the flag is presented in full text as well as the motives for awarding the flag with military bravery order.
