The Canadian Forces' Unit Commendation (French: Mention élogieuse à l'intention des unités des Forces canadiennes) is an award given to military units for "a deed or activity considered beyond the demand of normal duty".cite-ref-1[1]
Not only Canadian military units are eligible; Commonwealth and foreign units are also eligible if the deed occurred while serving alongside Canadian units.
This commendation is not given for acts in a combat operations zone, but the Commander-in-Chief Unit Commendation exists for such circumstances.
