WILKES-BARRE, Pa. – Employees at the U.S. Army Reserve’s Area Maintenance Support Activity #120 here received a Safety Excellence Award this past week.
The awards were presented by Maj. Gen. Troy D. Kok, commanding general of the Army Reserve’s 99th Readiness Division headquartered in New Jersey.
“You guys are doing it each and every day, and you’re doing it better than everybody else,” said Kok in reference to the AMSA’s safety program.
The awards were given by the 99th DIV(R) Safety and Occupational Health Office, whose mission it is to plan, organize, direct and evaluate the Safety and Occupational Health Program for all Readiness Division functions and activities, to include AMSAs.
“Shops that work well together, shops that are highly synchronized together, employees who enjoy what they’re doing and work together as a team actually have very good safe practices,” said Kok, who manages more than two-dozen AMSAs throughout the nation’s 13 northeastern states.
AMSAs provide secure locations where Army Reserve dual-status technicians service and repair units’ vehicles, small arms, communications-electronics gear, engineering and other equipment in order to enhance unit readiness and help America’s Army Reserve remain the most capable, combat-ready and lethal federal reserve force in the nation’s history.
