NAVAIR Commander Vice Adm. Dean Peters presented FRCSE with the award during a virtual event live-streamed from NAVAIR Headquarters in Patuxent River, Md. This year marked the 21st annual observance of the awards, which recognize teams that improve speed and readiness within Naval aviation.
"You have demonstrated creativity, boldness and leadership that are the building blocks of our mission-aligned organization," said Vice Adm. Dean Peters, commander, Naval Air Systems Command. "Thank you for setting the bar high, and also congratulations for a job well done. You have accomplished so much under the unprecedented environment of this last year."
Nominations were plentiful this year, as 52 submissions were received among the nine award categories, including four aligned with increasing material readiness, two supporting the delivery of new capabilities with increased speed, one for innovative, agile business operations (enabler of speed) and another highlighting leadership.
