CLAY NATIONAL GUARD CENTER, MARIETTA, Ga. – The 138th Chemical Company received the 2014 Sibert Award, recognizing the Georgia Army National Guard unit as the best chemical company in the entire National Guard during an awards presentation at Fort Leonard Wood this June.
“They were strong in each category judged compared to all of the other units,” said Thomas Crow, personnel development analyst for the U.S. Army Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear school. “In fact it was not even close, the 138th Chemical Company stood head and shoulders above the competition.”
The U.S. Army Chemical Corps' Maj. Gen. William L. Sibert Award Program gives recognition to the best chemical company in the Active Army, United States Reserve, and the National Guard. The objectives of the program are to provide recognition for excellence in the U.S. Army Chemical Corps, and to instill pride and reinforce the essential elements of mission readiness, leadership, discipline and organizational excellence in a quality force.
The 138th received a unit streamer for its guidon, a plaque and the unit’s name will be placed on the master plaque at the U.S. Army Chemical School.
“The 138th was chosen for its volunteering activities; their support to the winter storms in the Atlanta area; the individual success its Guardsmen had at the Soldier and NCO of the year competitions; support to the several major exercises; and the unit’s success in organizational inspection program visits,” said Crow.
The 138th Chem. Company is stationed in Marietta, Ga. and is assigned to the 781st Joint Task Force of the 201st Regional Support Group.
“This award is a tribute to our Soldiers’ commitment to excellence and duty,” said Capt. Randy Boatner, commander of 138th Chemical Company. “We are honored.”
