Principal Duties

Commands B Company, 2-22 Infantry Regiment, a light infantry rifle company of 132 Soldiers forward deployed in the Republic of Korea. Directs all aspects of company operations, including tactical training management, Soldier health and welfare, personnel readiness, and the maintenance and accountability of all assigned equipment and property. Plans, resources, and executes training to standard across the full spectrum of light infantry mission sets, ensuring the company remains operationally ready to execute any directed mission. Responsible for the discipline, morale, and professional development of all assigned Soldiers and leaders. Serves as the primary authority for all matters of command within the company and reports directly to the Battalion Commander.

Rater Overall Comments

CPT Vasquez commanded B Company through a demanding 9-month Korea rotation with zero training incidents across 14 live-fire exercises, maintained 100% equipment accountability, and earned the battalion's highest EIB pass rate at 92%. Consistently outperformed peers in every measurable category; one of the top company commanders in the battalion.

Character

CPT Vasquez upholds the Army Values without exception and is a steadfast advocate for the SHARP and Equal Opportunity programs, fostering a climate of dignity and respect across a 132-Soldier formation. His personal conduct, professional honesty, and moral courage set the standard for junior leaders. No SHARP or EO incidents occurred in his command — a direct reflection of the culture he built.

Presence

CPT Vasquez maintained calm, decisive command presence throughout one of the battalion's most demanding rotational periods, absorbing significant command turbulence without visible degradation to unit morale or performance. Soldiers consistently performed at a high level in part because Vasquez projected confidence and stability even when the operational environment demanded it most.

Intellect

CPT Vasquez identified friction in KATUSA integration procedures early in the rotation, developed a practical solution, and briefed his findings to battalion leadership — the approach was subsequently adopted as the battalion standard. Demonstrated the intellectual rigor to analyze a systemic problem, design a scalable fix, and communicate it effectively across echelons.

Leads

CPT Vasquez assumed command of B Company six months ahead of schedule following his predecessor's relief and immediately stabilized a formation in the opening weeks of a forward deployment. He led 132 Soldiers through sustained operational tempo with zero safety incidents across all live-fire training, demonstrating the composure and decisiveness expected of senior commanders.

Develops

CPT Vasquez validated all three of his platoon leaders during the rating period and personally mentored an NCO through the Ranger School selection process — she graduated, a direct result of his investment and advocacy. His deliberate approach to leader development produced measurable results at every level of the company and strengthened the battalion's long-term bench.

Achieves

CPT Vasquez achieved 100% equipment accountability across a 9-month rotation, drove a 92% EIB qualification rate — best in the battalion — and executed casualty assistance for multiple Soldier families with professionalism and compassion. Revived the company 5K tradition and organized the battalion MWR 5K in December, sustaining unit cohesion through an operationally demanding period.
