The 10th Mountain Division award is intended to recognize a Western Region patroller who has demonstrated continued commitment and significant contributions to the Western Region, through many years of dedicated NSP service. The Western Region may be the only NSP Region which has this award. Our boundaries match the boundaries of the North Central Chapter of the 10th Mountain Division. Don Olson, who was an original member of the 10th Mountain Division and North Central Chapter President, was instrumental in getting the award created.
