MEMORANDUM FOR Deputy Chief of Staff, G-4, 500 Army Pentagon, Washington, DC 20310-
0500
SUBJECT: Recommendation for Lieutenant General Arthur J. Gregg Leadership Award
1. Recommend the following individual be awarded the Lieutenant General Arthur J. Gregg
Leadership Award.
a. Name: John Smith
b. Rank/Grade: MAJ/O-4
c. MOS/Series: 90A/92A
d. Unit of Assignment/Directorate: HQDA, G-4/Strategic Readiness Division
e. Duty Position: Chief of Current Operation
f. Inclusive Dates: 11 May 2015 – 12 November 2016
g. Justification:
(1) MAJ Smith exemplifies everything the Army and the Logistics Corps values in a
leader and has displayed excellence throughout his stellar career. While assigned as the Chief
of the HQDA, G-4 Current Operations and Strategic Readiness Division, MAJ Smith has spread
the Army message on Operational Materiel Readiness to the Army’s most senior leadership (the
Secretary of the Army, Chief of Staff of the Army, the Under Secretary of the Army and the
Assistant Secretary of the Army, for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology), in an effort to
support the continued evolution of the vital Army materiel enterprise. His leadership and
planning abilities were instrumental to the G-4’s ability to make decisive and informed decision
regarding policies, processes, and resources.
(2) MAJ Smith created process improvements that drove maintenance backorders down
by 31%, far exceeding the other commands. Once MAJ Smith’s processes were adopted by the
entire command, there was a further reduction of 18% across the industrial customer base
within six months. The processes were later adopted by the higher four-star command, who
used this approach to drive improvement across the command’s 25M labor hours and $5B in
repairs annually. MAJ Smith also developed tracking mechanisms that were implemented
theater wide to support the responsible drawdown of every major commodity in theater.
(3) MAJ Smith also managed the activities of 1,440 contractors who operated the Class I
delivery system and operated four defense reutilization and marketing offices in Iraq. MAJ
Smith’s team provided 100% of the class I, III, and IV, and 92% of all other major commodities
in support of three U.S. Army Divisions. These totals included providing more than 1.2 million
gallons of class III and 360 trucks of Class I daily in support of operations. MAJ Smith
supervised $3.4B worth of class I and III for the entire Iraq join operations area, while providing
food to nearly 200,000 military and civilian personnel daily.
