REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. – A computer engineer, traffic management specialist and heavy mobile equipment mechanic leader are among 10 Army Materiel Command employees who are being recognized as Employees of the Quarter for fourth quarter, fiscal 2019.
The 10 employees represent the diverse array of professionals who work interdependently at AMC Headquarters and its major subordinate commands to provide equipment and supplies to ensure globally dominant land force capabilities. They were selected from among 190,000 AMC employees worldwide.
AMC’s Employee of the Quarter program recognizes employees who go above and beyond to make sacrifices, meet deadlines and exceed expectations. Moreover, they directly induce money-saving and perform lifesaving tasks for the Department of the Army, its warfighters and their families.
The AMC Employee of the Quarter Board serves as the platform where supervisors within the command can acknowledge “the best of the best” in their employee line-up. The awardees are recognized with an honorary award signed by AMC Commanding General Gen. Gus Perna and a 4-Star note from Perna. They are also honored in a photo display at AMC headquarters that lists their achievements.
“Our AMC employees of the quarter represent the best among us, demonstrating our core values with dedication to accomplishing the mission,” Perna said. “They set the standard and epitomize that an employee's proximity to the battlefield does not correlate to the significant impact of their efforts.”
