Izabella Reigelsperger

As a combat engineer, I supported military operations by constructing defenses, clearing obstacles through demolition, and ensuring mobility and safety in dynamic, high-pressure environments. I developed expertise in demolition, fortification construction, route clearance, and the operation of heavy equipment and explosives. For three years, I served as a team leader, responsible for training, mentoring, and supervising soldiers to maintain discipline, safety, and mission readiness. I was recognized twice for exceptional leadership and performance during live-fire training exercises conducted under extreme conditions.

During my service as a combat engineer in the U.S. In the Army, I was assigned to gate guard duty at Fort Campbell, where I was responsible for maintaining base security and enforcing access control procedures. I handled real-world security incidents involving drug and weapons smuggling, unauthorized entry attempts, DUI cases, and stolen vehicles. This role required strong situational awareness, sound judgment, and professionalism under pressure, while strengthening my skills in patience, maturity, and responsibility.
