The ACOE Awards recognize top performance within U.S. Army, National Guard and Reserve installations/ communities and their approach to systems management. "This award is proof positive that the South Dakota Army National Guard is a world class organization," said Maj. Gen. Tim Reisch, adjutant general of the SDNG. "Every one of our Soldiers should take great pride in the part they played in helping to achieve this milestone." The ACOE Awards follow a 12-month evaluation and score using the Malcolm Baldrige criteria for performance excellence. ACOE Awards score participants on how well they demonstrate maturity of key organizational processes and their ability to show results in areas such as leadership, strategic planning, customer focus, work force management and operational effectiveness. After placing as runner-up last year, Reisch said the goal was to take lessons learned and apply them to this year's competition. "This competition is about readiness," said Reisch. "If you apply the principles and put them into practice, you'll learn that the investment has been very well placed."
