CASTEAU, Belgium - The Supreme Allied Commander Europe, Gen. Philip M. Breedlove, presented the SACEUR Recognition Award to 12 NATO members during a brief ceremony Feb. 9, 2015, at the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) in Casteau, near Mons, Belgium.
Family members, co-workers and supervisors of those being recognized crowded around the conference room as the SACEUR talked about their “excellent performance and contributions” to NATO.
“You've earned this special recognition,” the SACEUR explained. “NATO is busy operating around the world and that work is falling on your backs. I really appreciate the things you do. Your efforts reflect great credit upon yourself, your nation and the Allied Command Operations as a whole.”
With five personnel from the E-3A Component and a few more from Force Command, the majority of the individuals honored were from the NATO AWACS community.
“I've never seen a more motivated and spirited unit during my career,” said Maj. Gen. Jochen Both, the NAEW&CF commander. “As the spearhead for many operations, you deserve this credit. This acknowledgement is proof of just how important AWACS is to NATO.”
