RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas --  The Air Force is soliciting nominations for the 2010 Noncommissioned Officers Association Vanguard Award. Nominees must be between the rank of senior airman and chief master sergeant who have performed a heroic act, on or off duty, which resulted in saving someone's life or preventing serious injury.

To be considered for the award, the act must be voluntarily initiated and not a result of directions or orders. It also must have been a legitimate attempt to save life or prevent serious injury to another person and not an act of bravado. To be eligible, the heroic act must have occurred between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2009.

Joint nominations are not allowed. Base-level organizations and personnel inquiring about nomination package requirements and deadlines should contact their major command, field operating agency, direct reporting unit, or major command equivalent.
