Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center (NAVSUP FLC) Yokosuka sites Atsugi and Misawa were each awarded the Blue "E" Ashore Supply Excellence Award for 2016.

The Blue "E" Award is given to commands that provide exceptional supply management support. Both sites have received the Blue "E" Supply Excellence Award for six consecutive years.

"I think that this is just part and parcel of what makes this team exceptional," said Davis. "It's an honor to come out here and personally thank the team and remind them of the significance of what they accomplish, day in and day out."

Misawa Site Director Senior Chief Logistics Specialist Felix Onejeme praised the exceptional caliber of his team.

"As a result of the dedication, professionalism and outstanding work ethic of our Japanese workforce and assigned military personnel, working cohesively with Aviation Support Detachment Misawa, the team received the Blue "E" Award for the sixth year in a row," said Onejeme. "This award is a testament to their outstanding excellence in supply management and logistics support to the mission readiness of our warfighters in 5th and 7th Fleet operations."
