The Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy and Environment, Honorable Alex Beehler, recently identified five installations, two teams and one individual who will represent the Army in the Fiscal Year 2018 Secretary of Defense Environmental Awards Program. The Secretary of the Army Environmental Awards are the highest honor conferred by the Army in the field of environmental science and sustainability.
"Our Army has a strong record of success when it comes to sustaining the environment to secure the mission," said Beehler. "Though we only recognize a few each year, environmental experts across the Army understand that the success of our warfighting readiness mission is inseparable from the environmental resources needed to accomplish that mission, and they work tirelessly to balance mission needs with our stewardship responsibilities."
This year's winners demonstrated superior program management and presented a variety of environmental technical solutions that benefit and enable the mission, are transferrable to other Army organizations and installations, involve local stakeholders, and produce measurable outcomes and a positive impact.
