What factor is considered in the selection of award recipients within the force support program?

The selection of award recipients within the force support program prioritizes the quality of service provided as a key factor. This emphasizes the importance of how effectively an individual fulfills their duties and contributes to their unit's mission. Awards are intended to recognize exemplary performance, and assessing the quality of service allows evaluators to identify those who go above and beyond in their roles, providing exceptional support and achieving outstanding results.

While time spent in service, personal recommendations from peers, and the number of training sessions completed may contribute to an individual's overall profile, they do not inherently reflect the effectiveness or impact of the individual's contributions. Ultimately, quality of service serves as the most direct and relevant criterion for recognizing excellence in various support activities, reinforcing the program's objective to highlight high standards in performance and dedication within the force support community.
