# Yokosuka’s Cole wins employee of the quarter award

By DLA Distribution Public AffairsDLA Distribution Public Affairs

                YOKOSUKA, Japan  –              

Scott Cole, traffic management specialist at Defense LogisticsAgency Distribution Yokosuka, Japan, has been named DLA Distribution’s Employeeof the Quarter for first quarter, fiscal year 2016, for his involvement with theTransportation Protective Service program.

Cole oversees the execution of the TPS program, a new reimbursablemission that involves the transfer of responsibility for the movement ofclassified, controlled, and signature service shipments within mainland Japanfrom the Air Mobility Command.  

Cole conducted extensive planning with AMC, DLA Distribution, and otherstakeholders, which included funding analysis, identifying vehicle and personnelresources, developing a concept of operations and inter-service agreement, anddeveloping escort trips and contingency plans.  To date, Cole has coordinated eight runs, with a reimbursable value ofapproximately $58,000.  

In addition to the TPS program, Cole was instrumental in the USS RonaldRegan’s successful return to home port.  Heprovided oversight, in conjunction with the Fleet Logistics Center’s logisticsupport representatives, for the coordinated Carrier Air Wing Five’s offload, anevolution that required more than 150 commercial trucks, and more than 55 trucksfor the Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department material.

“Mr. Cole’s uncompromising work ethic, dedication, and professionalacumen positively impacted the mission of DLA Distribution Yokosuka, Japan,”said Thelmo Santos, director of DLA Distribution Yokosuka’s TransportationDivision.  “He is an independent worker andattains superior results.  He is an outstanding professional who has earned the respect of hissuperiors, peers, and subordinates.”
