Spc. Jonathan Stupar, an allied trades specialist with the Service and Recovery section, 317th Support Maintenance Company, 95th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, uses additive manufacturing to weld metal brackets that increase the height of a beacon on an M915 line‑haul truck, improving visibility for commuters and meeting German roadway requirements.
The project was completed during daily shop operations on Jan. 21, 2026, at the 317th SMC Service and Recovery Shop on Smith Barracks in Baumholder, Germany.
This type of precision sustainment work strengthens readiness, drives cost‑effective solutions, and reinforces the Army’s commitment to innovation, efficiency, and disciplined modernization across the formation.
