Berna Johnson

The Assistant Secretary of the Army for Financial Management and Comptroller has recognized Operational Test Command’s Berna Johnson with the Army Fiscal Management Award for fiscal year 2012, according to an announcement from Dr. Mary Sally Matiella, ASA/FMC.

“Mrs. Johnson works tirelessly on behalf of the U.S. Army Operational Test Command,” said Archie Davis III, director, OTC G8. “We are all proud of her; she is most deserving of this honor.”

Johnson won in two categories: Resource Management Individual Award and Resource Management in Acquisition Environment. A supervisor budget officer in OTC’s G8 since 2010, Johnson has been a Department of the Army civilian employee for 13 years.

“Even though my name is on the award,” Johnson said, “it was a team effort. OTC’s G8 is a great group of talented individuals who pull together to do the right thing for employees, the command and the Army.”

Twenty individuals from multiple commands were selected for FMC awards, according to Matiella. Johnson was the only recipient from the Army Test and Evaluation Command, according to Davis, and since there were no recipients from Forces Command or Fort Hood, Johnson represents ATEC, FORSCOM, and III Corps and Fort Hood.

“The selection is a testimony to her performance and an endorsement of Mrs. Johnson’s credentials, professionalism and potential for senior-level positions in the Army of the 21st century,” Matiella said.

Johnson will receive her award at a ceremony to be scheduled at Fort Hood at a later date.

OTC, a subordinate command of ATEC, located at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., is the Army’s independent operational tester with a headquarters and four test directorates located at Fort Hood and four test directorates located at Fort Bragg, N.C.; Fort Sill, Okla.; Fort Bliss; and Fort Huachuca, Ariz.
