    4th Sustainment Brigade

    (By: Chief Warrant Officer 2 Terrie Wood)

    CONTINGENCY OPERATING BASE ADDER, Iraq – When a mission comes up at the 941st Transportation Company, 749th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 4th Sustainment Brigade, 310th Expeditionary Sustainment Command, many soldiers might think about loading the trucks and driving, but other tasks must be accomplished to complete each mission.

    Several members of the 941st Trans. Co. work at the 749th CSSB on a daily basis to help the mission run smoothly.

    Pvt. Mychal Stevens, a Rocky Mount, N.C. native, and Spc. Robert Hill, a Mebane, N.C. native, both truck drivers with the 941st Trans. Co., are dedicated to ensuring the correct people move in and out of the battalion’s headquarters building.

    They stand and greet all who enter and ensure that those that enter have the proper clearance or have a proper escort. They also serve as directory assistance for the building.

    “It has its perks,” Hill said. “There is a set schedule, and I still get to see my 941st Trans. Co. battle buddies back at the living area.”

    Capt. Jesse Estrada, a Riverview, Fla., native and a transportation officer with the 941st Trans. Co., is assigned to the battalion for the duration of his deployment. Estrada, who works in the Tactical Operational Center, became part of the battalion family when he was promoted to captain. He works with the various units under the battalion concerning the mission needs. He said he enjoys meeting new people and has a strength in deciphering paperwork.

    Pfc. Aja Singleton, a truck driver with the 941st Trans. Co., and a Charleston, S.C. native, also works in the TOC as a radio transmission operator. She directs convoys and updates briefing slides among other duties.

    “I have learned military bearing working with so many higher ranking officers,” Singleton said.
