Operation New Horizon is an annual nation-building operation, where National Guard and Reserve units are invited to assist in building infrastructure, including clinics, schools, and bridges in Central American countries. “Staff Sgt. Godleski’s extraordinary efforts and accomplishments were instrumental in completing the mission of the 253rd Transportation Company during this operation,” stated Capt. Princz. “Staff Sgt. Godleski is a credit to himself, the 253rd Transportation Company, 119th Corps Support Battalion, the 57th Troop Command, and the New Jersey Army National Guard.” The Army Achievement Medal is awarded to members of the Armed Forces who, while serving in any capacity with the Army in a non-combat area, distinguish themselves by meritorious service or achievement. |
