AEA Awards
Celebrating Excellence Across the Regiment: Honoring Army Engineers, Spouses, and Supporters
Important Update: Transitioning to New Systems
On 21 December 2024, the Army Engineer Association’s membership portal and the awards portal for De Fleury Medals and Essayons Awards will go offline as we transition to a new and improved database system. This upgrade is designed to provide a much better user experience for our members and a more user-friendly awards submission process.
During this time, we will not be processing any newly submitted awards until the launch of our new systems, which we anticipate will be fully operational by 10 January 2025.
We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to enhance these vital systems in support of the Army Engineer Regiment. Stay tuned for updates, and thank you for being part of the AEA community!

Whether you are a Soldier, a family member, or a devoted supporter, this is where your contributions are recognized.
