Team Hill named its annual award winners during Science, Engineering & Technical Management awards ceremony March 4 at The Landing.

The ceremony celebrates the hard work and dedication of the men and women in the engineering and scientist career fields across the base. The awards specifically recognize those members who have made great strides in technology and processes to place enhanced capabilities in the hands of the war fighters and increase mission effectiveness. 

Award ceremony officials said the awards program only touches on the highlights of a few individuals from a large pool of very talented men and women.
