The “expert marksman” medal is the only one I would have guessed. My Father had one from WWII which was at least similar.

Calling someone an expert marksman is like saying someone is an expert beginner.

The Army has three levels of proficiency. Marksman, Sharpshooter and Expert. The medal is for being an expert. I can’t tell what the bar says but it probably is for Rifle.
