Outstanding Squadron Award
From USAFA Folklore
The Outstanding Squadron Award is the highest unit award given at the Academy. It is given to the cadet squadron which has excelled in all aspects of Academy life--academic, athletic and military--during a given academic year. The winning squadron is awarded a plaque, a blue streamer with gold lettering for its guidon, and is honored at the Outstanding Squadron Banquet. In years where there is a Presidential Inauguration, the most recent winner of this award is usually given the honor of marching in the Inaugural Parade.
The award is sponsored by the Air Force Association.
