Army reinstates foreign footmarch awards after backlash, review

It's crazy how the Army has changed regulations that now it takes a one-star general to approve the German military efficiency badge! Talk about micromanagement! When I was at the Old Fort McClellan military police base, we had a German liaison officer who taught us active duty how to judge the award and we turn in the paperwork and he would issue us the award with a German certificate and I earned it in bronze. When I was with task force Caesar during operation Noble Eagle 3 at dugway proving ground, utah, our Brigade staff was also taught as certified to give the German military efficiency badge evaluations and I was able to earn it in gold.

I guess the US Army likes busy work. One star generals are busy enough as it is going to climate change seminars and critical race Theory indoctrination by the Biden administration, why can't they let a lieutenant colonel or someone like a sergeant major coordinate approval of badges like this?
