Congratulations to the recipients of the
2024-2025 J.J. Sanchez Award, A Battery!
The J.J. Sanchez Award and Flag for Recruitment and Retention was established to recognize the outstanding recruiting and retention of an outfit and the leadership techniques of its personnel as they relate to the unit recruiting and retention endeavor. The award is named for former Cadet J.J. Sanchez ’93, Company A-1, who died in an automobile accident during March 1993, his senior year in the Corps of Cadets.
The award consists of:
- The Sanchez Flag, which is carried for one year by the outfit earning the award.
- Guidon Streamers, which are flown on the guidon staff of the first three place units.
- Citation Cords, which are worn for one year by cadets who are members of the award-winning unit. Cadets assigned to staff positions, whose basic unit attachment is to the Sanchez award recipient, are also authorized to wear the citation cord.
