United States Air Force Captain Amanda Zenner, assigned to NATO’s Airborne Early Warning and Control Force (NAEW&C Force) and a native of St. Paul. Minnesota, received the ACO Military Member of the Year Award from Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR), General Curtis M. Scaparrotti, and Command Senior Enlisted Leader (CSEL), Command Sergeant Major Davor Petek during a ceremony at Joint Forces Command Naples, Italy, June 21, 2018.
Recipients of this award are nominated by their unit in order to recognise their superior performance and professional excellence. It is only awarded to junior ranks, non-commissioned officers and junior officers for their significant contributions towards the success of Alliance operations.
"Command Sergeant Major Davor Petek and I would like to congratulate the recipients of the 2017 Allied Command Operations Military Member of the Year Award. They have all worked extremely hard and should be very proud of this achievement,” said General Scaparrotti. "We enjoyed congratulating them and their families during the ceremony today. I would like to personally thank the supervisors, Command Senior Enlisted Leaders and Commanders for their efforts in highlighting the accomplishments of all our outstanding military personnel.”
Zenner joined the United States Air Force in May 2011. She joined NATO Allied Command Operations as a Logistics Support Programmes Branch Head in 2016.
As Branch Head of Logistics Support Programmes in the NATO Airborne Early Warning and Control Logistics Support Squadron, Captain Amanda Zenner demonstrated superior performance in logistics in multiple occasions. She filled the role as acting Squadron Commander for 6 weeks, and deployed for one month to Forward Operating Base Konya, where she led a 14-person multinational maintenance team that generated 14 sorties to execute NATO Counter-ISIL missions.
"I have had the opportunity to meet several of my peers working across Allied Command Operations. Their work and accomplishments leave me in awe," she said. "To be recognized at this level when there are so many other deserving individuals is truly humbling.”
