Fort Campbell, KY – An Australian serviceman was awarded a Bronze Star at Fort Campbell yesterday. 101st Airborne Division Commanding General Jeffrey Schloesser awarded the medal to Australian Major Jason Duggan during a ceremony at the Kentucky army base.

Schloesser said the support Duggan and his team gave to the 101st's Eagle Assault Task Force was a great opportunity for the two countries. Schloesser also awarded seven Air and 20 Army Commendation Medals for Service to members of Duggan's unit.
