The Battle “E” award recognizes crews with high levels of sustained proficiency and readiness to perform in an operational environment throughout a yearlong evaluation.

​

"The criterion for the Battle Effectiveness Award is the overall readiness of the command to carry out its assigned wartime tasks and is based on a year-long evaluation. The competition for the award is and has always been, extremely keen. To win, a ship, aviation squadron, or unit must demonstrate the highest state of battle readiness. The Battle Effectiveness Award recognizes sustained fast and winning performance in an operational environment within a command"

My Command won this 2 years in a row, we were forward deployed and I was there 2004-2007. If you know how the war was going then, then you know our Op Tempo. That same level of performance is what BATTLE E MEDIA is all about!
