The award was presented by CJENG Director Col. Richard Hansen. Senior Engineer in theater, Maj. Gen. Richard G. Kaiser, who is also the commanding general for CSTC-A, was on hand for the ceremony.
The De Fleury Medal, an award of the US Army Engineer Association, was named in honor of François-Louis Teissèdre de Fleury, a French Engineer in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War.
In the late 1980s, as the Corps of Engineers implemented the U.S. Army Regimental System, the senior Engineer leadership sought a method for the Corps to honor those individuals who have provided significant contributions to Army Engineering. The Engineer Regiment adopted the de Fleury Medal as an award because of the values demonstrated by the man for whom it was struck – values of special meaning to Engineer Soldiers.
