Former DLA Distribution Aide-de-Camp recognized with award

By Matthew Mahoney, DLA Distribtution Public Affairs

Army Capt. Mary K. Cloninger was recognized during a brief award ceremony June 22, at Defense Logistics Agency Distribution Headquarters.
Cloninger was aide-de-camp to former DLA Distribution commander Maj. Gen. Keith D. Reventlow from July 2021 to July 2022.

In recognition of her skillful planning and management of the day-to-day mission requirements, she was awarded the Joint Service Commendation Medal.

Her proven communication, planning and organizational skills enabled her to independently coordinate numerous command level conferences and meetings. An invaluable member of the DLA Distribution team, she maintained an open flow of communication with the commander’s staff, the distribution centers, and with the staffs of external organizations.

She confronted the challenges posed from the COVID-19 pandemic as the command incurred significantly reduced manning due to the heightened health protection condition measures. Her tireless dedication and concentrated efforts resulted in success for the commanding general and DLA Distribution as a whole.
