Two U.S. Army Contracting Command Soldiers have been named as recipients of U.S. Army Acquisition Support Center 2012 Army Acquisition Awards.

Col. Michael Hoskin, 413th Contracting Support Brigade, Fort Shafter, Hawaii, received the Secretary of the Army Acquisition Director of the Year at the Colonel Level. Sgt. 1st Class Eric Sears, 414th CSB, Vicenza, Italy, received the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics and Technology) Contracting Noncommissioned Officer Award for Contracting Excellence.

"I'm proud to see members of the command recognized for their valued efforts," said Maj. Gen. Camille M. Nichols, ACC commanding general. "The effort put forth by the ACC workforce is nothing short of phenomenal. The awards are well deserved. Kudos to all and thanks for the good work that you do."

The awards will be presented at a Nov. 7 luncheon in Arlington, Va., in a ceremony that pays tribute to the uniformed and civilian professionals working behind the scenes providing combatant commanders and their Soldiers the weapons and equipment they need.
