I want to recommend him for an MOVSM award him with a w/ Bronze service star for Volunteer over 2300hrs. Can I recommend him for the award or should I send through his current unit.

You have the option to submit the award in your unit or to his chain of command.

It would probably be best for you to check with your chain of command to see if they are willing to process the award.  If they are not willing to process the award then you should attempt to process it through his current chain of command.

If your unit is willing to process the award then it is probably best to have it processed in your unit as it allows you to have more involvement with regard to  processing and tracking the award.

 

See AR 600-8-22 for the specifics concerning the MOVSM and recommending a Soldier for an Award.
