WASHINGTON (Army News Service, June 21, 2004) -- Program Manager – Stryker just got an award normally given to Army installations.
Lt. Gen. Joseph Yakovac, military deputy to the assistant secretary of the Army for Acquisitions, Logistics and Technology, presented the Secretary of the Army Environmental Excellence Award in a Pentagon ceremony June 17.
“We are not only responsible for being good stewards of taxpayers money, but good stewards of the environment,” Yakovac said. “It’s not glamorous, but we need to save the world for future generations’ use.”
The citation for the award credited Project Manager – Stryker with establishing an interagency environmental management team that significantly reduced the hazards materials used in building the Army’s newest combat family of vehicles and other environment-friendly features designed into the vehicles. Examples include a design that catches spent shell casings and another that traps fluids that are normally released to the environment.
