Top suggester named

      WASHINGTON (ARNEWS) -- The National Association of Suggestion 
Systems has named CWO4 Wesley C. Wolf, U.S. Army Quartermaster School, 
Fort Lee, Va., as the winner of the 1992 Suggester of the Year 
competition.
      Wolf's idea was to provide soldiers participating in Operations 
Desert Shield and Storm a mobile, containerized kitchen similar to a 
fast-food restaurant. He designed and implemented the commercial-style 
kitchen, the first of its type to be used during a contingency as far 
forward as the front line.
      His idea was submitted through the Army Ideas for Excellence 
Program. The AIEP gives cash awards to soldiers and civilian employees 
who find ways to improve government efficiency, economy and 
effectiveness.
      Wolf's $5,000 cash award was in recognition of soldiers' 
increased readiness and morale.
