MEMORANDUM FOR DLA LAND AND MARITIME ASSOCIATES

SUBJECT: DLA Land and Maritime Hall of Fame Guidelines and Instructions

I. PURPOSE: To prescribe policies and procedures for the nomination, selection
and induction of personnel into the DLA Land and Maritime Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame
honors and preserves the memory of past Land and Maritime and DSCC associates for their
exceptional leadership, service, dedication to duty, and contributions in supporting the mission of
the Defense Logistics Agency. The program intends to preserve the Installation’s history, and to
give all associates a sense of heritage, honor, pride, and belonging.

II. DISCUSSION: DLA Land and Maritime is a major subordinate command of the
Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and the host activity on the Defense Supply Center Columbus
Installation. The Center’s history extends back to May 1, 1918, when it was dedicated as the
Columbus Quarter Master Reserve Depot to support the Army during World War I. Although its
name has changed 14 times and its methods have evolved during the years, its principal mission
has remained the same—to support the defense of the nation.

a. Throughout its history, the Installation’s real strength stems from the talents,
dedication and determination of its associates who continue to make
significant contributions to our Nation’s defense.

b. DSCC’s community is comprised of both military and civilian personnel, as
well as other DoD personnel engaged in related or supportive activities.

III. RESPONSIBILITIES: The DLA Land and Maritime Executive Programs Office
manages the Hall of Fame Program. The Protocol Officer is responsible for planning and
conducting the Induction Ceremony. The Chief of Staff appoints the Hall of Fame Selection
Board.

IV. PROCEDURES:
Award Eligibility.

Any former DLA Land and Maritime associate, to include those assigned to Depot-Level
Reparables Detachments, and Shipyards, separated for at least one year may be nominated.
Former associates include all military (active duty) and civilians. “DLA Land and Maritime
associate” includes individuals who worked for the Defense Electronics Supply Center and the
Defense Construction Supply Center. It also includes those DLA individuals who physically
work on the DSCC Installation, but are carried on another organization’s personnel rolls, e.g.
DS-FC, J-6, J-8, etc.

a. One-year separation (from the Selection Board date) is required, and
includes reassignment, retirement, discharge (Military Personnel) or death.


b. DLA Land and Maritime associates who have already been elected
to the DLA Hall of Fame are not eligible for nomination to the DLA Land and
Maritime Hall of Fame.

c. DLA Land and Maritime associates who have returned to work as
a Retired Annuitant or a Contractor are not eligible for nomination to the DLA
Land and Maritime Hall of Fame until they have retired from that assignment
and been separated for at least one year.

Selection Criteria.

Nominees will be evaluated on their significant and enduring contributions to DLA Land
and Maritime, DSCC and the DLA mission:

The term "significant" refers to any specific or continuous accomplishment positively
affecting a large segment of the center's employees, customers and/or vendors; or a long-term
contribution that has a lasting and positive impact on the center's mission and/or business
practices, or that has lifelong specific benefits to the center and agency.

The term "enduring" refers to the length of time of the positive effects of the action(s)
and not to the length of service of the nominee.

There must also be visible evidence that the nominee is held in high esteem by his/her
peers, subordinates, and superiors. There should be nothing in their professional or personal
background to reflect negatively on Land and Maritime, the DSCC Installation or the DLA
Enterprise.

Nomination.

a. The Executive Programs Chief will coordinate nominations.

b. Any current, prior, or retired DLA Land and Maritime, or DSCC Installation
associate may submit a nomination. There are no limits to the number of
submitted nominations.

c. To be considered by the Selection Board, nominations must be submitted to the
Executive Programs Office Chief, Ms. Janet Bunnell, by Friday, February 17,
2017.

form.

2. A 1-2 page narrative addressing the selection criteria and how they
apply to the nominee.


3. A one paragraph proposed plaque citation.

4. Other supplemental documentation supporting the nomination. This may

members from the following directorates and offices will comprise the voting

b. After nominations are in, board members will be sent the packages to review.

1. Each board member may cast one vote for each candidate that they
believe deserves selection. The nominee must have at least five out of
the eight votes to be selected to the DLA Land and Maritime Hall of
Fame. If no candidate has at least 5 votes, then no one will be selected
for that year.

2. The board will have approximately one week to review and determine
their vote. The board will then convene and each member will have the
opportunity to discuss the nominees, provide reasons for their votes,
and be given one final opportunity to change their votes. The Chief or
Deputy Chief of Staff will chair the meeting.

3. Nominees not selected for induction will not be automatically
considered for future selection boards. However, they may be re-
nominated using the same procedure and criteria. If a nominee has not
been inducted into the Hall of Fame after being nominated three
separate years, he or she cannot be nominated in the future.

4. The Chief of Staff will send the Committee’s recommendations to the
Deputy Commander and Commander for final approval.
