I am deployed to Africa and I will be awarded the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) but as I search the usual places and also UN websites it is nowhere to be found for purchase. Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this and any luck finding it.

Not every UN Medal is authorized for wear. I would caution against putting it on until and unless you are sure.
According to the US Army Institute of Heraldry, this medal is not listed among authorized UN Medals.

The purpose of this site is to provide information on United States Army heraldic entitlements; how they are displayed, and how and why it is worn.

Definitely not 1SG, I just trying to be ahead of the ball. From what I am understanding as I look into it more the Medal was just approved in Sept 15 so I'm guessing that it's just not on the shelves yet.

MSG (Join to see) - I can't link it, but MILPER 15-334 has the answers on authorized wear. I suspect that you are correct on why you can't find the medal from a vendor.

If you are assigned to AFRICOM, make contact with their G1 in Germany. They maybe able to help.
