VICENZA, Italy \u2013 With only a year under his belt as an Army civilian employee and a member of Logistics Readiness Center Italy, Robbie Abcede was extremely surprised and honored when he was selected as the U.S. Army Sustainment Command representative for the U.S. Army Materiel Command employee of the quarter recognition program.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the way up to the major command; it\u2019s a pretty big deal, but I didn\u2019t get here alone,\u201d said the chief of the Personal Property Processing Office at LRC Italy. \u201cI must give credit to my team and my LRC Italy leadership. I\u2019m very humbled an honored.”<\/p>\n

Abcede and several other employees across the AMC enterprise were recognized Jan. 8 in an official news release for their contributions to the command\u2019s mission objectives during the third quarter of fiscal year 2024.<\/p>\n

According to Maj. Gen. Kevin Meisler, AMC\u2019s chief of staff, the program recognizes civilian and military personnel whose contributions make a direct impact on the organization, progressing a culture of achievement and productivity and contributing to a positive work environment.<\/p>\n

The proud husband of 17 years and father of three \u2013 ages 20, 16 and 9 \u2013 served 20 years in the Air Force as an active-duty service member. His last job in the Air Force was airborne operations specialist, and his rank was master sergeant. He also served about five years as a contractor supporting both the Air Force and the Army before accepting a job offer as an Army civilian a year ago with LRC Italy, 405th Army Field Support Brigade.<\/p>\n

At LRC Italy\u2019s Personal Property Processing Office, or PPPO, Abcede supervises six Italian local national employees and one Army civilian who are transportation counselors responsible for assisting service members, civilian employees and their families with their inbound and outbound household goods and unaccompanied baggage shipments. The LRC Italy PPPO acts as a liaison between the USAG Italy community and the moving companies, helping to facilitate the pickup and delivery of personal property shipments.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re harmonized,\u201d said the 46-year-old native of Waipahu, Hawaii. \u201cMy team is very experienced and knowledgeable, and they work extremely well together. I have team members who have been here doing this job for many years, one as far back as 1999. They are passionate and good at what they do. Honestly, I really can\u2019t thank them enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI just want to say thanks for the recognition. It\u2019s really humbling. It\u2019s always great to recognize people for the work they do, and LRC Italy is really good about that \u2013 really good at highlighting the important work and good stuff our people do each and every day,” Abcede said.<\/p>\n

Abcede is one of 12 employees recognized by AMC for their outstanding work performance during the third quarter of fiscal year 2024. Their names are now displayed in the AMC headquarters at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. More than 175,000 military, civilian and contractor employees are assigned to AMC. Before Abcede, the last time a 405th AFSB employee was recognized as an AMC employee of the quarter was almost three years ago.<\/p>\n

When it comes to providing day-to-day installation services, LRC Italy directs, manages and coordinates a variety of operations and activities in support of USAG Italy. LRC Italy is one of eight LRCs under the command and control of the 405th AFSB. LRCs execute installation logistics support and services to include supply, maintenance, and transportation as well as clothing issue facility operations, hazardous material management, personal property and household goods, passenger travel, non-tactical vehicle and garrison equipment management, and property book operations.<\/p>\n

LRC Italy reports to the 405th AFSB, which is assigned to ASC and headquartered in Kaiserslautern, Germany. The brigade provides materiel enterprise support to U.S. Forces throughout Europe and Africa \u2013 providing theater sustainment logistics; synchronizing acquisition, logistics and technology; and leveraging AMC\u2019s materiel enterprise to support joint forces.
