A Romanian officer was awarded a U.S. Army medal in recognition of his outstanding participation in the Saber Guardian 2017 exercise, the Ministry of National Defence announced.
Colonel Glenn Schmick said that the young Romanian lieutenant is a role model and that when they hear about Romania the American servicemen who took part in that exercise instantly think of their brother in arms Victor Bogdan Bila, the Ministry of National Defence said. The young honor recipient serves in the 400th Logistic Support Battalion 'Feleacu', which provides support to 4th Infantry Division 'Gemina', and said on the occasion of the ceremony that his comrades are his family.
