PAO staff report

WASHINGTON – The Army announced the 172nd Brigade Support Battalion Forward Distribution Point as the winner of this year’s Chief of Staff, Army, Combined Logistics Excellence Award, in the category of Supply Excellence. The FDP competed in the large warehouse category against warehouses all over the Army.

The first Army Chief of Staff’s Combined Logistics Excellence Awards, or CLEA, were presented to units and organizations that epitomized outstanding service and set the standard for others to emulate, said Lt. Gen. Claude Christianson, the Army Deputy Chief of Staff, G-4 (Logistics).

“The Soldiers that are here represent the very best of Army logistics. In addition to these winners and runners-up, I know that there are thousands of dedicated unsung professionals out there every day doing magnificent work to support our Army,” said Christianson.

As he reviewed the list of award winners, Christianson said that he identified common threads.

“All of these units, down to each individual, are dedicated to supporting Soldiers. They’re fully committed to their mission and take success personally.

“Secondly, they possess extraordinary attention to detail. Ours is a very complex business, and this attention to detail allows them to be successful,” he said.

Chief Warrant Officer Augustus Hector and Spc. Mohammed Ahmed traveled to Washington D.C. last month to accept the award for the FDP Soldiers.

Yay, and congratulations. You're fixing to get disillusioned though. The supply system in Iraq has been broken since its inception, so don't take it personal when it doesn't work over there. Ok?

Well, maybe the 172nd will "unbreak" it.
