HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah -- The 16th annual Kevin J. Sullivan Maintenance and Logistics Awards were held at a banquet Nov. 17 to honor the top performers from the 309th Maintenance Wing, 84th Combat Sustainment Wing, 508th Aerospace Sustainment Wing and 748th Supply Chain Management Group here. The banquet was sponsored by the Ute-Rocky Mountain Chapter of the Air Force Association and the guest speaker was the award's namesake, Maj. Gen. (ret.) Kevin J. Sullivan.

Due to Sullivan's desire to recognize the Air Force's top performers, the awards were officially renamed in his honor three years ago.
