The Civilian Employees of the Year Award Ceremony recognizes the excellence and achievements of civilian employees from across USFK’s component commands stationed across the Republic of Korea. USFK headquarters and the component command were able to nominate candidates for each category, with an unbiased panel choosing the overall winners for each category.

Each awardee was presented with a plaque for their accomplishment by Gen. LaCamera.

“Our superb legion of dedicated civilians are an integral component of our readiness, our warfighting team, and our overall defense of freedom here on the peninsula,” said LaCamera. “We can’t do it without you!”
