WIESBADEN, Germany - U.S. Army Europe recognized some of its top performers during a brief ceremony at the 2017 Winter Commanders Conference at Clay Kaserne Jan. 25.
Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, USAREUR commander, presented the top honors to this year's
MacArthur Award, Commanders Cup and the Eisenhower Writing Competition
winners.
"I know that every person in here is committed to leader development," said Hodges. "It's one of our three enduring priorities, and so I'm happy to see each year we have these awards to see a crop of great men and women who demonstrate that excellence."
The Eisenhower Writing Competition recognizes contributions by Soldiers and
civilians who write professional articles for publication that highlight
evolving tactics, techniques and procedures throughout the command. More
than 70 articles were submitted from the past year.
"There were so many great articles," said Sgt Maj. Richard Puckett, the
program's coordinator. "It was awesome seeing the range of topics and ideas.
What made it special this year was the efforts of contributors by a wide
variety of ranks from sergeant to colonel."
