Army Field Support Battalion-Kuwait, 402nd Army Field Support Brigade, was recognized for its efforts and initiative in fiscal stewardship recently on the Defense Logistics Agency's "Million Dollar Board."

DLA's Million Dollar Board was created to recognize the fiscal stewardship of commands taking advantage of government excess property. Each command listed on the Million Dollar Board has reutilized in excess of $1million in the corresponding fiscal year.

In Fiscal Year 2013, AFSBn-KU made it possible for other organizations to reutilize excess equipment totaling more than $1 million of taxpayers' money. A cost avoidance of $6,164,718 resulted from their submission of seven Military Standard Requisitioning and Issue Procedures requisitions.

"I'm pleased other organizations could use the items we turn in, either through our retrograde process or through identification of excess," said Lt. Col. Marc Staats, commander, AFSBn-KU. "Our Soldiers and contract partners are diligent in ensuring we treat excess material correctly. This is a great recognition from DLA."

The mission of DLA Disposition Services is to support the responsible reutilization of military excess property and correct disposition of surplus property. The goal is to continually improve communication and collaboration with Warfighters.
