FORT DRUM (AP) -- The home of the 10th Mountain Division is being recognized again as one of the Army's top installations.
Officials at Fort Drum in northern New York say the post has won the 2012 Army Communities of Excellence bronze award for its outstanding garrison support and services. It's the third consecutive year Fort Drum has won an ACOE award.
The post shared the ACOE silver award with Kentucky's Fort Campbell last year and won another ACOE award two years ago.
This year's bronze award comes with a $150,000 prize.
Fort Drum officials will receive the award at the Pentagon in May.
Under the ACOE program, Army installations are graded on the quality of support that soldiers, families, civilian employees and retirees receive.
Fort Drum is one of the Army's 186 camps, posts and stations worldwide.
