Sgt. Maj. of the Army Michael R. Weimer awarded three garrisons Oct. 11, 2023, for having the highest participation rates in the third annual Army Emergency Relief active-duty competition. He and retired Lt. Gen. Raymond V. Mason, AER director, presented awards to U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden, Germany; Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri; and Fort Sill, Oklahoma, during the Association of the U.S. Army Annual Meeting and Exposition in Washington, D.C. The garrisons were categorized by active-duty Soldier populations at each installation: small with 1,000 to 2,000; medium with 2,000 to 10,000 and large with 10,000 and more. The competition is based on the yearly AER Annual Campaign, which runs from March 1 to May 15, has several goals: ensure every Soldier is made fully aware of the AER assistance available to them and is offered an opportunity to donate.
