Which award's scope is not specifically linked to a particular function or activity?

The Individual Legacy Award is designed to honor specific contributions and achievements of individuals within the Air Force. Its emphasis on recognizing personal impact and the long-term significance of an individual's service means it is not tied to any particular function or activity, making it distinct from the other awards listed.

In contrast, the Team Recognition Award focuses on collaborative efforts within a group, emphasizing collective accomplishments tied to specific missions or goals. The Meritorious Service Award is granted for noteworthy service or achievement in a specific role or function, and the Outstanding Unit Award recognizes exceptional performance by a unit, which is inherently linked to specific activities and efforts within that context. These awards are closely related to particular tasks or functions, illustrating why the Individual Legacy Award stands out with its broader scope.
