The logistics readiness awards recognize outstanding performance and contributions by individuals, squadrons, depot units or other organizations which excelled in performing the Air Force and Department of Defense logistics readiness mission. The 5th LRS was recognized for having one of the most effective supply records within the command, earning the Daedalian Major General Warren R. Carter Logistics Effectiveness Award. One of the squadron's major accomplishments in 2012 was the managing and executing of upgrades to more than 130 of Team Minot's up-armored vehicle fleet.
