The District Service Medal (DSM) was a medal awarded in lieu of the General Service Medal (Rhodesia) (GSM) for service on operations undertaken for the purpose of combating terrorists or enemy incursions into Rhodesia. It was awarded solely to African members of INTAF in uniform. This is unusual as non-whites in all other branches qualified for the 
General Service Medal or the 
Prison General Service Medal . The DSM is therefore the only racially exclusive service medal in the Rhodesian Honours System.
