JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, Va. –
Lt. Col. Eric G. Ellmyer, 439th Supply Chain Operations Squadron commander, recently won the 2011 Gen. Thomas P. Gerrity Award for "Outstanding Logistical Support."
The 635th Supply Chain Operations Wing, at Scott Air Force Base, was also recognized as being the best at what they do by winning the unit award. Air Force Materiel Command announced the winners Mar. 12. The 735th Supply Chain Operations Group, as well as the 635th Supply Chain Operations Group at Scott AFB, fall under the 635th Supply Chain Operations Wing. The Gerrity Award follows an outstanding last two years for the 635th SCOW and its groups as they also won the 2010-2011 Air Force Outstanding Unit Award.
"This is a great accomplishment for the 635th Wing and is a testament to the great work this total force organization does day in and day out," said Col. Mark Johnson, 635th SCOW commander, upon being notified of his unit winning.
"With the team effort of the 635th Wing, Groups, and our partners in the Virginia and Illinois Air National Guard, this unit has overcome a fair amount of process changes this past year. Despite these challenges, the team remains focused on our mission as the First Responders for the Air Force Supply Chain."
"Thanks, as always, for what you do each and every day," said Johnson. "You really are making a positive difference, and are executing change across the Air Force. Your impact is so much more than you realize."
