HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass. --  Military and civilian Airmen were recognized in 16 categories during the Team Hanscom Annual Awards Ceremony at the Hanscom Conference Center March 15.

More than 60 nominees from across the installation competed. Among the organizations included are the 319th Recruiting Squadron, 66th Air Base Group, Battle Management and C3I and Networks Directorates, Joint Personal Property Shipping Office-Northeast and the Contracting Directorate.

Col. David R. Dunklee, 66 ABG commander, and Hanscom Command Chief Master Sgt. Patricia L. Hickey presented the awards to each of the winners.

"The high-caliber of professionals that make up Team Hanscom is among the best I have seen in the Air Force," said Hickey, whose office oversees the awards program. "This is never more obvious than after I read each and every award package that is forwarded to my office. The process of selecting only one person or team in a category is daunting."
