Quartermaster
Catherine Greene Award   General Rules       The
Catharine Greene award was approved by the
Quartermaster General in January 2001 to provide
an award that would recognize significant
contributions and support provided by
Quartermaster spouses.   Any member of the
Quartermaster corps may nominate a deserving
candidate for the Catharine Greene Award. 
Although any member of the Quartermaster Corps
may nominate a spouse, the nominating of your own
spouse is highly discouraged and approving
officials should carefully screen such nomination
requests.   Approval Authority        The
Quartermaster General has delegated approval
authority of the Catharine Greene award to
Quartermaster Corps General Officers and
Quartermaster Colonels(06) in command
respectively.  If there is not a Quartermaster
General or Colonel available in the nominee's
organization, then the nomination must be
endorsed by the nominator's commander and
submitted to the Association of Quartermasters. 
The Association will then review the packet and
coordinate with the Quartermaster General for
further review and approval.    Award
Criteria       In order to maintain the value and
prestige of the Catharine Greene Award we have
established three criteria that must be met in
order for a nomination to be approved for the
Catharine Greene Award.  Any deviation from these
three criteria will cause the nomination requests
to be forwarded to the Quartermaster General for
consideration. 1) The nominee must be the spouse
of a Quartermaster soldier or civilian. 2) The
nominee's spouse must be a member of AQM. 3) The
nominee must have provided a significant
contribution or support to the Quartermaster
Corps, a unit, a community or to their spouse
that is of a nature that emulates Mrs. Catharine
Greene and is distinguishing from other spouse
contributions.
