In 2011, those efforts were recognized as warrior gateway was awarded a federal computer week fed-100 award for significant contributions to the federal it community and again in 2012 with a computerworld honors laureate for our innovation in creating an open-source platform for information sharing in the military nonprofit sector.in 2015, warrior gateway re-branded and became the america campaign.
