KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE, New Mexico -- The Air Force Materiel Command commander has announced that the 377th Services Squadron here has been nominated for the Maj. Gen. Eugene L. Eubank (Small Unit) Award.

Col. James L. Playford, AFMC acting director of Manpower, Personnel and Services, wrote, "These outstanding operations will represent the Command in the upcoming Air Force competition recognizing the best Services operations in the Air Force. Best of luck in the Air Force-level competition."

In 1965 the Order of Daedalians Foundation established the LeMay Award as special recognition for excellence in programming and service. In 1990, they established a second Services award. As a result, large and small base categories were established. The small base category award was given the name of Maj. Gen. Eugene L. Eubank (a former commander at Kirtland) Trophy for Services Excellence, while the large base category retained the Gen. Curtis E. LeMay Trophy for Services Excellence.
