Biography
Salvadore Guzzo's hometown is Boston, Massachusetts. During the war he became a radio operator in the 29th Infantry Division. He was later transferred to the 90th Infantry Division due to a shortage of men. Guzzo first joins Nichols's squad in Saint-Lo after Nichols learns his CO was killed in Martinville. When Guzzo is first ordered to be transferred into McCullin's unit, he is reluctant to join. At Saint-Lô, Guzzo and Nichols receive minor injuries when a tank explodes and sends them tumbling into a wrecked building. Later, as the battle progresses, tensions grow between Guzzo and McCullin and the two end up having a major falling out near the end of the battle. Sgt. McCullin holds a gun at Guzzo and threatens to shoot him for desertion after Guzzo suggests they should fall back. Guzzo views McCullin as insane, and McCullin sees him as a coward. During the battle for the Mayenne Bridge, Guzzo says McCullin has gone crazy and shortly before the Sergeant dies, McCullin's last words are "Tell Guzzo to go to hell."

At the final cutscene in the level "Forest", Dixon is tired of Guzzo's attitude to him, telling him that "The Sarge may have put up with it, but I won't."

During "Chambois", Guzzo saves his comrades' lives by risking his own to call in air support to level the German forces. While marking targets with flares, Guzzo gets shot in the leg. After carrying Guzzo to safety, Dixon too gets shot, and is fatally wounded leaving Guzzo in charge of the squad. After Dixon's death, the enraged Guzzo leads the remaining American forces to victory.

After the battle, Guzzo officially becomes the leader of the squad. At the end of the game, he is seen quoting Sgt. McCullin's "One rule" while talking to the new recruits in the supply truck.

Trivia

 * In the second level, Guzzo has been demoted to Private for attempting to desert, but is later a PFC again.
 * In the end, Guzzo repeats McCullin's rule, "You're no good to me dead!" and the private next to the player replies with, "What kind of pep talk was that?" to which Huxley takes Dixon's role, saying "You want inspiration private? Read a poem."
 * Guzzo is seen wearing McCullin's helmet in the ending cutscene.
 * In the French version of the Call of Duty 3, Guzzo is 28 years old during the events of the game.
 * Guzzo is always seen with a radio on his back until the final cutscene where he has a regular backpack.
 * In Call of Duty: World at War, at the end of Semper Fi, a rifleman named Sgt. Guzzo can be seen. This most likely an easter egg/reference by Treyarch.
