Logistics Excellence Awards ceremony in Heidelberg, Germany, March 23. In his remarks at the event, USAREUR Commander Gen. Carter Ham said this year's awards are noteworthy because continued deployments over the past eight years have made the already tough process of competing for the CLEA even more difficult. “It’s not like 10 years ago, when you could focus your entire unit’s energy on preparing for this award,” said Ham. “The way we do business today in the Army, if you don’t have sound systems -- if you don’t have excellent systems - - no surge or special effort is going to allow you to be good enough to win these awards.” Organizations earn the awards based on an entry packet containing the unit’s profile and descriptions of its achievements during the previous 12 months, followed by rigorous on-site evaluations by subject-matter experts.

Twitter Headquarters, Headquarters Company of the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team, Flickr and 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, both stationed at Caserma Ederle, Vicenza, Italy, will move to the Del Din (formerly known as Dal Molin) facility in YouTube Vicenza, Italy. 173rd Special Troops Battalion and 173rd Brigade Support Battalion, both stationed in Bamberg, Germany, will move to the Del Din facility in Vicenza, Italy. 1st Squadron, 91st Cavalry Regiment, Schweinfurt, Germany, and 4th Battalion, 319th Field Artillery Regiment, Bamberg, Germany, will move to Grafenwoehr, Germany. 1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment will remain at Caserma Ederle in Vicenza, Italy. The unit moves from Bamberg and Schweinfurt will enable the Army to continue to reshape USAREUR posture in line with our national defense strategy and to support Combatant commanders, NATO and our European Allies. The moves will also facilitate the timely and cost-effective closure of DOD installations in Bamberg and Schweinfurt. 173rd ABCT incoming personnel will be immediately assigned to these new locations. In Italy, initial occupancy of Del Din begins in March with full operational capability planned for June 2013. We expect moves to continue through the fall, as the units complete their reintegration process. DOD'S February 2012 announcement reducing some 2,500 positions in enabling units in U.S. Army Europe, in addition to inactivating two infantry brigades, allowed USAREUR officials to adjust stationing plans to maximize the use of our most modern facilities in both Italy and Germany.
