Fort Campbell, KY – The Safety Officer award was presented to Chief Warrant Officer 4 Jonathan Pace, Battalion Warrant Officer for 2nd Battalion, 5th SFG (A); and the Supply Excellence Award was presented to Chief Warrant Officer 3 Truman Mays, Property Book Officer for the 5th SFG (A), and his staff, during a ceremony at the 5th SFG (A) headquarters June 26th.
Pace was recognized for his exemplary planning and execution of an incident-free battalion-level unconventional warfare exercise that was conducted in the fall of 2011. His efforts improving the unit’s vehicle and motorcycle safety programs were also highlighted.

Brig. Gen. Edward M. Reeder, Jr., Commanding General, U.S. Army Special Forces Command, took a few moments to reflect on the significance of these outstanding achievements prior to presenting the awards.
“When you look at everything we do in the Regiment [USASFC] every single day, the fact that you guys have been recognized by a major command to receive these awards is very significant,” said Reeder. “This is an indicator of what you guys do every single day, and what you do every day is great, and you do it to a standard of excellence.”

The 5th SFG (A) Property Book Office will go on to represent USASFC at the USASOC Supply Excellence Award competition held later this month.
