The Order of Loyalty and Valor is awarded for great courage while wounded. According to Robert Werlich, it is the only decoration awarded under this specific condition. The Order has one class. In 2016, the Legislative Yuan decided that there had not been enough recent conflict to justify the awarding of this medal to personnel for bravery, so the regulations regarded the awarding thereof were changed to allow those "...who, in order to protect the people, are loyal to their duties, and automatically perform extraordinary heroic acts, are qualified to be honorable."

The badge's emblem is a gold and silver star with multiple rays. The central medallion is white and depicts a highly stylized horse and rider; the rider holds a golden sword and a shield of red, white, and blue. The background of the horse and rider is in red enamel. The ribbon is light blue with narrow red and yellow stripes towards one edge and narrow yellow and red stripes towards the other edge.

Order of Loyalty and Valour is associated with Republic of China. Recorded from 1944.
