Latham, NY (03/19/2018) — New York Army National Guard Sgt. Caitlin Johnson, Johnstown, N.Y. resident, has been named Non-Commissioned Officer of the Year by the 369th Sustainment Brigade.
Johnson, who joined the New York Army National Guard in January 2014, serves as an intelligence analyst and human resource specialist in the 104th Military Police Battalion. She was selected for the honor following a competition held at Camp Smith Training Site near Peekskill, Feb. 23-25.
The competition tests a non-commissioned officer's military knowledge, their ability to complete tasks involving weapons and equipment, and their physical fitness.
She will compete against other sergeants from around the state for the New York Army National Guard honors in April. The winner of that competition goes to a regional event as part of the effort to find the best non-commissioned officer in the Army, Army National Guard and Army Reserve.
Johnson holds three Army Achievement Medals, the Non commissioned Officer Professional Development Ribbon, the Army Reserve Component Achievement Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, and the Army Service Ribbon.
She is currently assigned as a full-time Guard Soldier at the headquarters of the 104th Military Police Battalion in Kingston, N.Y.
She is currently taking classes online with the State University of New York's Empire State College.
