VICENZA, Italy \u2013 Her father was a command sergeant major with the Italian Army, so a life of military service is something she was exposed to at a very young age and something that\u2019s now ingrained into her own personal set of values and beliefs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m basically a very proud Army brat,\u201d said Laura Quaglia, lead supply technician at Logistics Readiness Center Italy.<\/p>\n

Quaglia\u2019s father, now retired, was assigned to various duty locations over his 36 years of service, to include being stationed at Vicenza from 1995 to 2004 and then again from 2014 to 2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing here was a big part of my life, growing up. I was always around the Army and Soldiers in uniform and all that,\u201d said the Italian local national employee at the Property Book Office, or PBO.<\/p>\n

Recently selected as the LRC Italy Employee of Quarter, junior-grade category, 2nd Quarter, Fiscal Year 2023, Quaglia said being able to work for the U.S. Army now is \u201creally just a continuation of what my life has always been about.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing able to work in an international environment and work for the U.S. Army \u2013 it\u2019s makes me happy,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Quaglia started out working on Caserma Ederle in Vicenza at the Exchange as a sales associate. After about three years she was offered a position with the 405th Army Field Support Brigade\u2019s LRC Italy, first in Supply Support Activity operations for two years and then at the PBO for the past five. She said she feels overwhelmed by the recent recognition and proud of her selection as one of LRC Italy\u2019s newest employees of the quarter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t expecting it, but I\u2019m very happy,\u201d said Quaglia. \u201cWe’re a great team \u2013 all of us, together. It’s really about teamwork, and I couldn’t do anything if it wasn’t for my coworkers. That’s why I think I was recognized. We’re all so very supportive of each other.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Quaglia said in April her entire team was recognized by U.S. Army Garrison Italy leadership for their exceptional performance during a recent Command Supply Discipline Program inspection.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old mother of a 2-year-old girl said working at PBO with her team of five personnel, plus the property book officer, is extremely rewarding. And what her team provides to LRC Italy and the Garrison is very important because property accountability is important, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur biggest thing is definitely property accountability, and that’s what we work for every single day,\u201d said Quaglia, who along with her team, is responsible for all the property assigned to LRC Italy and USAG Italy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a lot of government money,\u201d she said. \u201cA lot of money being spent every single day. We have over 100 accounts we support. For example, the Garrison \u2013 as a whole \u2013 is worth 19 million dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n
