133rd Engineer Battalion support company receives national supply award
Brig. Gen. Dean Preston, Maine’s land component commander, recently presented the Army chief of staff’s Supply Excellence Award (SEA) to Chief Warrant Officer 2 Peter Houghton, Sgt. 1st Class Shannon Trepanier and Staff Sgt. Patrick Purcell, all members of Forward Support Company, 133rd Engineer Battalion at the Brunswick Armed Forces Reserve Center.
Houghton, Trepanier, Purcell and other key logistics staff members won the regional Army National Guard Level II (A) Property Book Operations category. They placed in the top three logistics and supply units in the nation and will go on to compete at the national level.
The SEA program was established in 1984 by the U.S. Army Quartermaster School to recognize supply excellence at the various unit and organizational levels. It is open to active Army, Army National Guard and Army Reserve units nationwide.
The objectives of the program are to enhance logistical readiness of all Army units, enforce supply discipline, provide a management tool to ensure system standardization, perpetuate group competition and increase public awareness of supply excellence within the U.S. Army.
The 133rd Engineer Battalion continues the long line of success the Maine Army National Guard historically has in the SEA competition. Maine units have placed in the top two at either the regional or national level several times since 2010, including the 488th Military Police Company, Joint Force Headquarters, the 286th Combat Support Sustainment Brigade and Charlie Company 1-126th Aviation Regiment.
