The Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex celebrated its top performers during the 2024 Annual Awards Ceremony held here, Jan. 16, recognizing outstanding individuals and teams for their achievements.

The OC-ALC Annual Awards Ceremony, which was sports-themed, serves as a tribute to excellence, recognizing and celebrating the top performers and teams whose dedication and achievements have driven mission success. Everyone represented their favorite sports team in the spirit of competition to celebrate the nominees.

“You are the best of the best from the largest aerospace industrial complex on the planet, supporting the greatest Air Force in history,” said Brig. Gen. Brian Moore, OC-ALC commander. “I’m incredibly proud of this team. Congratulations to all nominees and winners, because you brought your A-game!”

This year, OC-ALC leaders reviewed 379 award packages, recognizing 72 quarterly award winners, 75 Commanders’ Excellence in Action award recipients, and 50 Year of the First Line Supervisor awardees.

The OC-ALC was also recognized as the top depot in the Air Force and received the Maintenance Effectiveness Award for its third consecutive year. The award is presented annually to the unit that most successfully managed resources to provide safe and serviceable equipment for sustained use in peacetime and wartime.

“Teamwork is the foundation of success at the OC-ALC,” said Master Sgt. John Netzel, OC-ALC first sergeant. “None of the nominees or award recipients achieved greatness alone; it’s a culmination of team effort and mutual support.”

The ceremony not only highlighted individual and team successes but also reinforced the importance of community, family, and teamwork in achieving mission excellence.
