An IMPACT award is an award that the Commander (Approval Authority) has pre-approved to be given out with orders to follow later. So it's pretty much an achievement award that the Approving Authority has given verbal approval on. It really has nothing to do with impacting or having impact on
anything. In the old days we would have a formation/inspection and during that formation/inspection the Company Commander would have verbal authority from the Battalion Commander (Approval Authority) to hand out up to 4 AAM's for outstanding performance, or anything he deemed was worthy of recognition... he would pin the medal on the soldier immediately and then submit the DA638 for signature, and put ACH (IMPACT) in block 12a to let the approval authority know the award was already approved and presented and a signature was needed.

What is an impact bronze star does it even exist?
An "Impact Award" is the pinning on of a medal very soon after a heroism award is turned in to higher headquarters for approval. Often a higher commander will show up at the unit after a battle and pin on these 'impact awards' during a unit ceremony. The actual award is written up with a recommended citation and description of the heroic act, and is passed along to higher headquarters for approval. If a soldier received a Bronze Star impact award, the actual award will come along later with the official paperwork. The impact award is presented without paperwork. Some soldiers have received an impact award, but the actual award never shows up on his official record. If that occurs, application is made to the Board of Corrections to fix it.
