3/7/2014 - POPE FIELD, N.C. -- The
440th Force Support Squadron was recently named the Air Force Reserve
Command nominee for the Air Force 2013 Major General Eugene L. Eubank
Award.
The Eubank Award is presented annually to recognize excellence at small
bases where less than 5,000 Airmen are assigned. The force support
squadrons are evaluated in mission accomplishment, leadership,
innovation, management, customer focus and customer impact.
"I was ecstatic when I heard the news," said Lt. Col. Selby Redman,
440th FSS commander. "When I got here in 2012 there were lots of
challenges, high turnover and low morale, so winning this award really
showed how much we overcame and accomplished. I am very proud of them
all."
Accomplishments from the squadron include delivering backlog for more
than 800 fitness assessments, standing up the Airman and Family
Readiness Center, establishing child care for UTA weekends and refining
the newcomer's program.
Redman said that they were up against 14 other bases in the command.
The award honors Maj. Gen. Eugene L. Eubank, a highly decorated pilot
who served more than 34 years in the Air Force. Eubank recognized the
importance of morale and welfare for America's fighting forces to
further the overall Air Force mission.
