f. SAVES Award Commanders must use their judgment in nominating individuals for awards under this program. Because of the variables in the ATC profession, no definition or prerequisites may be given as to what specifically determines a SAVE. Actions which saved lives or property should be considered first. They may include--
(1) Helping an aircraft in distress.
(2) Responding to an emergency effectively.
(3) Identifying and averting a hazardous situation unknown to the pilot.
(4) Any other action taken which clearly shows the saving of lives or property.
