Secretary of Defense Maintenance Awards

site map

Each year, the Secretary of Defense Maintenance Awards Program recognizes outstanding achievements by field-level units engaged in military equipment and weapon system maintenance within the Department of Defense. Six Secretary of Defense Maintenance Awards are presented units from small, medium, and large categories.

From these six award winning units, one is singled out and selected as the best of the best, and presented with the Phoenix Trophy, DoD's highest award for maintenance. The plaques presented to the award winning units and Phoenix Trophy are courtesy of the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA).

As the legendary PHOENIX gives itself new life,

so too does MAINTENANCE give continued
life to military equipment and weapon systems

In FY 2005, the Secretary of Defense depot-level award was named the Robert T. Mason Award for Depot Maintenance Excellence in recognition of Robert T. Mason, a former Assistant Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Maintenance Policy, Programs, and Resources. This single award is presented to the outstanding program from a major organic depot-level maintenance facility that exemplifies responsive, transformed, depot-level maintenance support to DoD operating units. The plaque presented to the award winning depot program and Robert T. Mason Trophy are courtesy of the Society of Automotive Engineers International (SAE).
