SPC Guitierez is currently assigned to Minimum Deployment Package Maintenance Section.

SPC Guitierez consistently volunteered and came in on off days to help HHB 91B Wheel Maintenance Section with troubleshooting and repair of Non-Mission Capable Vehicles for Minimum Deployment Package and Shooter Platoons maintaining a high Operational Readiness Rate and contributing to the overall success of 1-174 ADA BN NCR rotation.

As a 91B, Wheel Vehicle Mechanic, SPC Guitierez cross trained as a 91D Generator Mechanic due to a BN Shortage of MOS qualified personnel on mission. Power Generation is a critical asset to Minimum Deployment Package. By taking the initiative to learn multiple platforms he gave his leadership the flexibility of having one Soldier maintain both the prime mover and power generation allowing leadership to use assigned personnel for other critical tasks.  SPC Guitierez spent numerous days and hours troubleshooting a Class III transmission leak that the prior rotations had not been able to repair. After thorough troubleshooting and properly identifying that the transmission would need replaced, a task that no mechanic on this rotation has completed, was able to complete task after numerous setbacks and challenges and return a critical piece of equipment to Fully Mission Capable (FMC).

As a Specialist, he was assigned to ensure all shipment paperwork was complete, signed, and submitted in a timely manner. He creates, tracks, and submits all Bill of Lading for MDP, a critical task to maintain accountability of equipment, timely delivery of equipment to mission location, and proper payment to vendors.SPC Guitierez’s attitude and motivation was critical to his assigned platoon and the HHB maintenance platoon. He set the standard for all maintainers and was critical to 1-174 ADA BN NCR mission success.
