2004 Supply Excellence Awards
|
In the 19th year of competition, the 2004 Chief of Staff, Army, Supply Excellence Award (SEA) Program recognized 45 units for logistical readiness and supply effectiveness. This year the Army recognized 39 winner/runner-up units and 6 honorable mentions. Represented were 23 Active Army, 16 Army National Guard (ARNG) and 6 US Army Reserve (USAR) units.
Nominated units that were unavailable for the evaluation because of deployment/mobilization are encouraged to participate in the FY05 SEA program. Also, the "Best of the Best" competition for individual Soldiers was eliminated in FY04.
The Department of the Army and the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) cosponsored an awards ceremony 1 Sep 04 in Alexandria, VA. The Chief of Staff, Army presented plaques to unit representatives. As in previous years, the NDIA provided the plaques.
Competition begins with major Army commands (MACOMs) nominating units based on their performance in the local Command Supply Discipline Program (CSDP) evaluations. Strict adherence to both the Army’s CSDP and to logistics management is the stepping stone to competing in the SEA Program. Evaluators from the US Army Quartermaster Center and School, augmented by ARNG and USAR evaluators, travel worldwide from January through June conducting onsite assessments.
The SEA Program provides a positive incentive for extraordinary supply operations. To participate, a unit must contact its MACOM SEA point of contact (list available at AKO>KCC>TRADOC>Quartermaster>Supply Excellence Award) for details regarding the FY05 SEA nomination/competition process. Additional information about the SEA Program is available at the Army Knowledge Online (AKO>KCC) and in an article published in the Spring 2003 edition of the Quartermaster Professional Bulletin on the Quartermaster Home Page at www.Quartermaster.army.mil under Professional Bulletin.
