On behalf of the U.S. Army G-4 and The 50th Quartermaster General, we challenge you
to compete for the coveted Chief of Staff, Army, Supply Excellence Award.
Chief of Staff, Army, Supply Excellence Award Logo
The Supply Excellence Award Logo was designed by the Army Institute of Heraldry and is provided to the Chief of Staff, Army, by the program's co-sponsor, the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA).
Centered upon a disc within dark collar and inscribed with the words, CHIEF OF STAFF, ARMY, above two stars and the words, SUPPLY EXCELLENCE AWARD; below a deca foil with a barb between each lobe and on each lobe a star with one point outward; and centered within stars upon two crossed keys with loops in base, a representation of the insignia of the Chief of Staff, Army, on a five-pointed star. The United States Coat of Arms in the shield is composed of a chief above seven pallets and glory above the eagle containing thirteen stars. The central element contains ten points between ten lobes embellished with ten stars, the number ten having the significance of perfection and completeness and also as the key of all things in reference to the Quartermaster functions of supply and storage and distribution, further symbolized by the crossed keys at center. The colors silver and gold on the unit award denote high achievement and the blue is related to loyalty and dedication. The device of the Chief of Staff, Army, identifies the sponsor of the Supply Excellence Award.
History of Chief of Staff, Army, Supply Excellence Award Program
The Chief of Staff, Army, Supply Excellence Award (SEA) Program was conceived during the Total Army Worldwide Supply Conference held in November 1984. The Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics (DCSLOG) tasked the U.S. Army Quartermaster Center & School (USAQMC&S) to assist in the research and development of an award program, similar to the Phillip A. Connelly Award (Subsistence) and the Chief of Staff, Army, Maintenance Excellence Award Programs, that would recognize supply excellence at the various unit and organizational levels.
The Total Army established objectives were to: enhance logistical readiness of all Army units; enforce the Command Supply Discipline Program (CSDP); encourage the use of available resources; and provide a structure for recognition of group and individual initiatives. The established benefits of the SEA program are: instill personal challenges to individual soldiers; perpetuate group competition; provide a management tool to ensure system standardization; and increase public awareness of supply excellence within the Total Army and create overall improvement of our supply system.
T
he Army DCSLOG provided guidance and the USAQMC&S provided resources. After two years of research and development, the first on-site evaluations took place in FY 86.The National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA), along with Department of the Army, supports the annual awards program culminating in the presentation of unit awards to recognize excellence in supply operations at unit and organizational levels.

The primary criteria for evaluation are demonstrated success in supervisory and managerial responsibilities in compliance with the Army standard supply policy and procedures, the Command Supply Discipline Program, and the Army management philosophy. Evaluation guidelines and scoring criteria within each level will be administered by USAQMC&S. The basis of the evaluation is the CSDP as detailed in Appendix B and all units in any category will be evaluated against the Army CSDP standards. Up to 10% of the total score is reserved for areas of special emphasis identified by the Army G–4 and/or the Quartermaster General, if applicable. If there are no areas of special emphasis, the evaluation criteria will be solely based on the standard Army CSDP areas. The USAQMC&S will determine applicable scoring for each evaluated area for each particular category. The scores attained by evaluated units will not be released or publicized. Recommendation for awards will be based solely on onsite evaluations.
The inaugural Combined Logistics Excellence Award (CLEA) ceremony in May 2005 incorporated the Army Award for Maintenance Excellence (AAME), the Deployment Excellence Award (DEA) and the Supply Excellence Awards (SEA) recognition ceremonies into a single event honoring the winning logisticians from the three awards programs.
