Competing for the Army Award for Maintenance Excellence: It's Not About Winning
By 1LT Melissa A. Czarnogursky |
In 2021, I arrived at Eighth Army’s (8A’s) Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion (HHBN) at Camp Humphreys, South Korea, as a new Ordnance officer. I was brought on the team to assume two positions: the battalion maintenance officer and the maintenance platoon leader within the headquarters support company. The battalion’s maintenance program was one of the worst in 8A, from the culture within the maintenance platoon, to the view of maintenance across a large and diverse battalion, to the status of equipment readiness. Six months later, our team was preparing to compete as a battalion in the 8A Army Award for Maintenance Excellence (AAME).
