The Brigadier General David H. Stem Award is a unit trophy annually awarded by the United States Army to a Military Police unit.[1]
The trophy was created in 1985 as the Liberty Award.[2] Two years later it was renamed in honor of David H. Stem, the commandant of the United States Military Police School who died in a 1987 airplane crash.[2]
The trophy is given annually to "best military police unit in the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command" (TRADOC). It is considered a unit trophy as provided for in Army Regulation 600–8–22.[3] Units are scored against several specific criteria including the unit's Army Physical Fitness Test and weapons qualification averages, unit deployments, and personnel re-enlistment totals.[4][5] The unit which receives the award is placed under consideration for the Brigadier General Jeremiah P. Holland Award as TRADOC's nominee.[6]
