Rickey Johns, Energy Manager at the United States Army Reserve’s 63rd Readiness Division, received a special commendation from Mr. Robert Maxwell, Army Reserve Chief Financial Officer and Director of Resource Management and Materiel, for his storied career.
Johns has been an asset to the Army for most of his life. After 43 years, he retired as a Chief Warrant Officer 4 from the Arkansas National Guard. He served as the Arkansas National Guard’s Facility Management Branch Chief and the state Energy Manager for 23 years. Johns joined the 63rd Readiness Division’s energy team in the fall of 2012.
Maxwell lauded Johns for his innovative approach to energy and water management. Johns and his team have pursued initiatives such as a Building Energy Monitor Program; a Division-wide energy education and awareness campaign; an Enterprise Building Control System; and a phase change material pilot project. In 2016, the Division received a Secretary of the Army Award for Energy Efficiency and Energy Management, Small Group.
Maxwell said, “[Johns’] dynamic, positive and personable demeanor as the 63rd Readiness Division Energy Manager resulted in countless partnerships, having significant impacts in the areas of energy and water security.”
Johns has been an integral component of the Army Reserve, emerging as a leader in energy security across the federal government. His untiring work ethic and dedication to excellence have measurably contributed to the overall success of the Army Reserve Installation Management Directorate mission, and his example of selfless service to our Nation is worthy of emulation.
