FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. November 12 – Reaching the top in the Army requires dedication, determination and hard work.
That concept paid off for the Soldiers of the 194th Military Police Company, 716th Military Police Battalion, 101st Sustainment Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, when they received the Forces Command Eagle award Wednesday, November 4.
“We’re the best MP company under FORSCOM,” 1st Lt. Nathaniel Y. Han, executive officer of the 194th MP Company said, “It’s awesome, not only to the company but to the battalion.”
1st Lt. Christopher M. Gasser, 3rd Platoon leader, 194th MP Company, compiled a book of the 194th’s achievements, which ranged from physical fitness test results to shooting scorecards and field work.
Gasser said each MP Company submits a book of their yearly achievements for review by a board on their base. Only one book is chosen out of six from Fort Campbell, he said.
The 194th had multiple achievements, both in garrison and downrange over the past year, Han said. Every achievement is recorded in the book.
“It’s been a great learning experience to get to tell the story of the 194th,” Gasser said, “I hope that we win the J.P. Holland award for the entire Army.”
“It’s driven by these young sergeants, these young leaders,” Han said, “It’s just amazing, I’m just honored to be surrounded by professional people.”
Soldiers with the 194th MP Company are still aiming higher. The winner of the Brigadier General Jeremiah P. Holland award for the best MP Company in the Army will be announced November 15. The Eagle award places the 194th closer to overall victory.
