Commendation progress.

Commendations are awards that players advance through Halo: Reach, during campaign, multiplayer, and firefight gameplay. Players earn credits as they perform certain actions, many of which are Medals in and of themselves. Additional credits are earned upon reaching a commendation milestone, for example by accumulating a certain number of Assist Medals. Commendations are intended to also serve as an indication of how a given player tends to operate.[1] Commendations cannot advanced on the Easy difficulty.

Although some have similar names and even identical icons, commendations are not to be confused with medals.
