National Guard (ARNG), and the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR). The categories are
modified table of organization and equipment (MTOE) and table of distribution and

a. Active Army MTOE units. There are three categories of competition based on the
number of authorized personnel (from all approved authorization documents, including
any augmentation TDA) in the competing unit. These size categories are small (1–100
personnel), medium (101–300 personnel), and large (301+ personnel).
b. ARNG MTOE units. There are two categories of competition based on the number
of authorized personnel (from all approved authorization documents, including any
augmentation TDA) in the competing unit. These size categories are small (1–100
personnel) and medium (101+ personnel).
c. USAR MTOE units. There are two categories of competition based on the number
of authorized personnel (from all approved authorization documents, including any
augmentation TDA) in the competing unit. These size categories are small (1–100
personnel) and medium (101+ personnel).
d. TDA units. Active Army, ARNG, and USAR will compete as one category. Unit size

3. Army Award for Maintenance Excellence (AAME) field level nomination instructions.
a. In accordance with Reference 1.a., commanders at all levels will conduct
inspections and staff visits to determine the adequacy of command maintenance
operations.
b. Army commands (ACOMs), Army service component commands (ASCCs), and
direct reporting units (DRUs) will nominate units that display maintenance excellence in
line with the readiness levels they see during the Organizational Inspection Program.
c. Units are not able to self-nominate for the AAME.
d. Parent units (for example, brigades and battalions) that compete must address all
subordinate elements in their nomination. Subordinate elements of a parent element
cannot compete separately if the parent element competes. If all subordinate elements
of a parent unit compete, the parent element will compete as a single entity. If a parent
unit is selected as a semifinalist, all assigned and/or attached subordinate elements,
regardless of location, are subject to evaluation during the onsite assessment.
e. Targeted focus areas. Each fiscal year, Headquarters, Department of the Army
(HQDA), Deputy Chief of Staff (DCS), G–4 and the Chief of Ordnance will identify
“targeted focus areas” that require an increased emphasis. These focus areas will be
incorporated into the Phase II onsite evaluation and grading process. This year’s areas
are proper man-hour accounting and Maintenance Management.
f. Nomination packets will be properly banner marked in accordance with
Department of Defense (DoD) guidance. Units will ensure nomination packets are
cleared for public release to military and civilian news services.

Army MTOE category: four small, four medium, and four large. Deployed units can be

officer. This category performs functions in accordance with CSDP requirements
outlined in References 1.a. and 1.g.
