QUARTERMASTER CORPS REGIMENTAL HONORS PROGRAM
BACKGROUND: Effective 13 June 1986, the US Army Quartermaster Regiment (Corps) was established with Fort Lee as its home base. The Quartermaster General serves as the Regimental Commander. The Regimental SOP outlines the role of other Regimental Officers, as well as procedures for appointment of an Honorary Colonel, an Honorary Warrant Officer, and Honorary Sergeant Major of the Regiment. In addition, three separate Regimental Honors Programs were created to recognize outstanding individuals and units (both past and present) who have helped fulfill the Corps’ mission in very special ways, or who have brought known credit to the Regiment over the course of its long and proud history:
