SrA Daisy Kurtenbach has continuously displayed outstanding performance, exemplary leadership, and unwavering dedication to the Air Force. One of Kurtenbach’s most commendable roles was as the lead planner for the annual U.S. and Republic of Korea Base Readiness Exercise. In this critical position, she demonstrated exceptional planning, skills, and acumen, overseeing the creation of three major exercise scenarios for six joint international teams involving a total of 155 personnel. Her meticulous coordination of the completion of 42 wartime tasks ensured seamless and synchronized efforts from the coalition forces, thereby guaranteeing the success and optimal readiness of all participating teams. Kurtenbach’s remarkable contributions in this exercise exemplify her exceptional capabilities as an outstanding Airman Engineer.

As a result of her dedication and expertise, three wings, two Geographically Separated Units, and a Base Defense Element achieved full mission capability, playing a crucial role in supporting Operational Plan of Attack requirements for North Korea deterrence. In just under four years of service, her outstanding achievements and contributions have earned her several prestigious awards, including Airman of the Quarter, Senior Airman Below the Zone, and Airman of the Year.
