INTRODUCTION TO THE SMDC SERGEANT AUDIE MURPHY CLUB
The
U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Commanding General, LTG Joseph M.
Cosumano and the SMDC Command Sergeant Major, CSM Wilbur Adams, both
felt that SMDC should have the same programs and recognition devices as
other Army Major Commands. One such program was the Sergeant Audie
Murphy Club (SAMC). CSM Adams implemented the instructions of LTG
Cosumano, and the SMDC Sergeant Audie Murphy Club was organized.
Induction and membership in the SMDC SAMC is a reward for
noncommissioned officers whose leadership achievements and performance
merit special recognition and who have contributed significantly to the
development of a professional NCO corps and a combat ready Army. Members
demonstrate superb leadership characterized by personal concern for the
needs, training, and development of their Soldier, as well as concern
for their Army families.
All SMDC active and reserve component Soldiers in the ranks of corporal
through master sergeant are eligible to compete for membership in the
SMDC SAMC.
Upon selection and induction, members will receive a certificate and a
medallion. They may be recommended for an award by their
chain-of-command.
Other-MACOM Sergeant Audie Murphy Club and Sergeant Morales Club members
in good standing will be extended honorary membership. They will receive
an honorary membership certificate.
SMDC SAMC is governed by SMDC Regulation 215-7, dated 2 April 2004.
Outstanding Soldiers should be recommended to their Command Sergeants
Major to learn more about this organization.
