SSG Angelica M. Delgado, while performing duties as an Instructor Operator for Fox Company, 1st Aviation Regiment, played a vital role in the success of Operation Freedom's Sentinel in 2017 and 2018. She personally flew over 1,400 hours while completing 8 Readiness Level 1 progressions and training 6 new aircraft commanders. As the company Standardization Operator, normally a sergeant first class position, she ensured the safe execution of the company's 15,000 accident free flight hours while conducting split based operations from separate airfields in Afghanistan. She ran the unit's gunnery training program, developing a rigorous schedule that improved combat effectiveness across the formation. As a result of her efforts, the company executed 91 kinetic strikes with a 95.5 success rate that resulted in 105 Enemy Killed in Action, 16 Enemy Wounded in Action, 20 vehicles destroyed, and 7 buildings destroyed. She is the consummate "Total Soldier," consistently scoring 300 on the Army Physical Fitness Test, qualifying for the Ft. Riley Army 10-miler Team, and ensuring that every Soldier in her squad passed the promotion board.
