The Silver Wing medal is made of silver colored metal, consisting of multiple elements. A pair of silver wings with seven feathers on each wing sweep from the bottom of the medal, nearly to the top. Between the tips of the two wings are three five-pointed stars in relief superimposed on two chevrons, one below the other. Centering the wings is a combat helmet (i.e. paratrooper helmet) superimposed behind three arched bands at the base of the wings.

The words "SILVER WING" and "MEDAL" are written at the reverse of the medal, in two lines, respectively.

The ribbon is white with a red central stripe bordered in yellow, then in white, and blue edges on each side.
