WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio (AFLCMC) - Don Thompson Jr., Director, Acquisition Excellence & Program Execution, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, hosted the 2024 AFLCMC Acquisition Management Awards Ceremony, which was held on Wright-Patterson AFB, Jan. 29, 2025.

The hybrid ceremony included organizations from several operating locations across the United States who gathered virtually to celebrate the teams and individuals who exemplified excellence throughout the year in leading, managing, and supporting the delivery of war winning capabilities.

The annual awards recognize the acquisition workforce’s leadership and commitment to achieving outstanding results, explained Thompson. The hard work being done across the community reflects the Air Force’s core values of integrity, service and excellence.

“This year’s nominees made significant contributions in mission areas across the enterprise,” said Thompson. “Their efforts produced exceptional outcomes delivering war winning capabilities despite facing many challenges. They developed innovative strategies and aligned stakeholders across the enterprise to respond to worldwide conflicts placing lethal capabilities in the hands of operators down range.”
