• Position: National Defense Industrial Association - Brief Article

The National Defense Industrial Association donated plaques for 23 maintenance awards. The awards were given to soldiers by Army Chief of Staff Gen. Eric Shinseki in July, in a ceremony at the Metro Center Marriott.

"Maintenance is more than just turning wrenches," Shinseki said. He explained that preventive checks and services by operators keep the equipment running.
