JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR HICKAM, Hawaii – Five exceptional service members from the 94th Army Air and Missile Defense Command received the prestigious Knowlton Award during a recognition ceremony, Nov. 23, at the Wright Brothers Café on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.
The Knowlton Award is awarded to those who exemplify the highest levels of integrity, professional competence, and selfless service needed to be a military intelligence professional.
Keeping with tradition the service included five military intelligence corps officers taking part in an inimitable candle lighting ceremony, which symbolized the heritage and sacrifice of all MI Professionals. The awardees included current Sea Dragons - Maj. Tanya Burke, G2 plans officer; Maj. Robert Deleon, G2 operations officer; Maj. Christopher Pressley, G2 All Source Production Section Chief; Staff Sgt. Keith Barnes, G2 platoon sergeant; as well as former Sea Dragon assistant chief of staff, G2, Col. (Ret.) Thomas “Buck” Luther.
“Receiving the Knowlton Award is a reflection of all the dedication and hard work that you accomplished. It truly signifies a milestone in one’s career and I am thankful to my leadership for putting me in and recognizing me for this amazing award,” shares Barnes.
“It is an honor to be recognized by a command that I served in 10 years ago for this esteemed award that is so significant to the MI Corps,” explains Luther.
“It truly shows what great leadership the 94th AAMDC has when four years after retirement they make it a point to put me in for the Knowlton Award, and I am truly grateful.”
The 94th AAMDC Deputy Assistant Chief of Staff, G2, Lt. Col. Steve Peters, expressed that the Soldiers and officers who receive the Knowlton Award are recognized for their superior contribution to the Military Intelligence Corps.
“I want to extend my congratulations to each and every one of the awardees. Well-deserved and remember… you earn your Knowlton every day!” said Peters.
The Military Intelligence Corps Association established the Knowlton Award in June 1995. The award honors the legacy of the revolutionary hero Lt. Col. Thomas Knowlton, who commanded the Knowlton’s Rangers under the Continental Army of General George Washington, and is considered the father of Army Intelligence.
