(Citation Needed) – SYNOPSIS: Brigadier General Wendell Eugene Carter, United States Air Force, was awarded a Second Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster in lieu of a Third Award of the Legion of Merit for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services to the Government of the United States as Comptroller of the Alaskan Command from 1956 to 1959. General Carter devised the means of reducing command manpower by one-third without impairing effectiveness and a complete review of sources of reimbursements being collected by the U.S. Air Force which resulted in significant increases. The singularly distinctive accomplishments of General Carter and his dedicated contributions in the service of his country reflect the highest credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
