HEIDELBERG, Germany — Two U.S. Army
Europe officers have been named as
recipients of the Department of the Army level
2007 General Douglas MacArthur
Leadership Award.
Capt. Daniel P. Kearney, commander of
Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion (Airborne),
503rd Infantry, and Capt. Daniel C. Enslen
from the Operations Group, Joint
Multinational Readiness Center, 7th Army
Joint Multinational Training Command were

warrant officers who embody MacArthur’s
ideals of duty, honor and country, and have
exceptional records of performance,
leadership and achievement.

approximately 3,700 eligible officers in

A ceremony to present the awards is
scheduled to take place in Washington,
D.C. in May.
