THIS AWARD GOES TO YOU. AND RAMBO.


Rounding out the Army acquisition awards season are the ALTies, our way of thanking our con- tributors for continuing Army AL&T’s legacy as the go-to source for lessons learned, analysis and commentary on the issues and people shaping acquisition. Since it’s your magazine, it’s fitting that these should also be your awards: Each year, readers select the best commentary, article, photo and graphic from the hundreds submitted by acquisition experts and posted online or printed in the hard-copy magazine.

This year was a banner year for voting, with more than 5,000 votes cast. Below are this year’s winners—a select group that features a new category, Reader’s Choice, to recognize the story that garnered the most views over the past year. The inaugural honor goes to Seung kook “Sunny” Burns and James Zunino: their piece on a Rapid Additively Manufactured Ballistics Ordnance—RAMBO—received nearly 6,400 hits. Congratulations to all the winners. Once again, you’ve set the editorial bar pretty high, and we’re looking forward to another year of award-winning material.
