DLA Distribution Europe team recognized with awards for excellence

By Matthew Mahoney DLA Distribution Public Affairs

Defense Logistics Agency Distribution, Europe, was awarded the “Triple Crown” of major organizational awards from DLA Distribution headquarters for their outstanding achievements and efforts through fiscal year 2022. The “Triple Crown” includes the Phyllis C. Campbell Award for Superior Performance, the Maj. Gen. Kenneth L Privratsky Award for Distribution Center Excellence and the Michael E. Yost Distribution Center of the Year Medium award.

“These awards are a testament to the forward thinking and hard-working employees we have at DDDE,” said U.S. Army Lt. Col. Kimberly Rembert, DDDE commander. “They are always looking for ways to improve to ensure the warfighter has what they need, when they need it.”

In fiscal year 2022 the DDDE theater consolidation and shipping point workload increase exceeded projections by 18% in support of our European allies and readiness in the United States European Command.

The team at DDDE processed more than 300,000 transshipments, over 58,000 receipts and more than 5,500 government and commercial trucks. These shipments spanned over 62 locations and across 18 international borders in support of operations and readiness.

“It comes as no surprise that DDDE would win not one, not two, but three extraordinary achievement awards! The team’s dedication to mission accomplishment, expertise, and collaborative spirit have truly set a new standard in global distribution. This dominant success is a testament to their exceptional efforts for always supporting the Warfighter,” said U.S. Army Col. Adrian Sullivan, commander, DLA Europe & Africa.
