U.S. Army Europe maintenance and supply units were recognized last week for excellence at the unit and organizational level.

At the Tuesday awards ceremony in Heidelberg, Germany, Brig. Gen. Rebecca S. Halstead, called logisticians “the heroes on the battlefield” and praised maintenance and supply soldiers for their “selfless service.”

Established in 1982, the Army Award for Maintenance Excellence was designed to improve and sustain unit maintenance readiness; to evaluate the status of total unit maintenance operations; to recognize outstanding unit level accomplishments and initiatives; and to promote competition at the major command, Army and Defense Department levels.

The Army Supply Excellence Program recognizes supply excellence at the unit and organizational level.
