GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  The purpose of this MARADMIN is to solicit nominees for the 2021 Jim Kallstrom Awards and Marine Corps Security and Emergency Services (S/ES) Civilian Awards.
2.  The Jim Kallstrom Award.  The Kallstrom Awards, one for outstanding leadership and one for bravery, are presented annually in honor of Jim Kallstrom.  A Marine Corps Captain and Vietnam War veteran, Jim Kallstrom distinguished himself over a twenty-eight year career with the Federal Bureau of Investigations, culminating in his assignment as the Assistant Director in Charge, New York Division.  He continued his faithful service to the Marine Corps and Law Enforcement community as co-founder and Chairman of the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation (MC-LEF) up to the time of his passing in July 2021.  Administered by the MC-LEF, the Jim Kallstrom Awards recognize those Military Police, who in the performance of their duties, best exemplify the ethos of protect and serve, and honor, courage and commitment and a genuine concern for the well-being of the Corps, fellow Marines and the community they serve.
2.a.  Eligibility.  Provost Marshal Offices, Marine Corps Police Departments, and other commands staffed with Military Police personnel are encouraged to submit one nominee (officer or enlisted) for each award category.  Commanders (O6 level) will use the following prerequisites to submit nominations:
2.a.1.  Actions included in each nomination must have occurred within the period of eligibility (January-December 2021).
2.a.2.  Nominees must be active duty or reserve serving on active orders and possess a military police MOS (58XX) during the period of eligibility.  Nominations may be submitted posthumously, provided the nominee would meet eligibility and award criteria described above.
2.a.3.  Nominees should be recognized by seniors, contemporaries, and subordinates as Marines who clearly and distinguishably demonstrated those qualities associated with the award for which they are being nominated.
2.a.4.  Nominees for leadership must set the standard for all Marines to follow.  The nominees must exhibit qualities that have made an outstanding contribution to the development of esprit de corps, loyalty, and mission accomplishment within their unit.  Include specific accomplishments, their results and why these accomplishments set the nominee apart from his/her peers.
2.a.5.  Nominees for bravery must have performed a selfless act above and beyond the call of duty.  Examples include but are not limited to:  lifesaving actions and courage under fire or attack.
2.b.  Nomination for a Kallstrom Award does not affect a Marines eligibility to receive a military award for the same action/performance.  If the nominee received a military award for the same action/performance, the summary of action should be included as an attachment in support of the nomination.
