  RECOGNIZING THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE 60TH COMPTROLLER SQUADRON AT 
                         TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JOHN GARAMENDI

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 11, 2026

  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
extraordinary achievements of the 60th Comptroller Squadron at Travis 
Air Force Base and to congratulate the team at Travis for being named 
the Comptroller Squadron of the Year by Air Mobility Command. These 
honors reflect the exceptional professionalism, innovation, and 
dedication of the men and women at Travis who support the financial 
readiness of our Airmen and the broader mission of the United States 
Air Force.
  The 60th Comptroller Squadron (60 CPTS) has demonstrated unparalleled 
financial stewardship in service to our Nation, managing a $1 billion 
payroll for 16,000 personnel and overseeing a $500 million budget in 
support of a 1-Star Command. Their work underpins the only Air Mobility 
Command installation executing all four of its primary mission sets, 
enabling 32,000 missions across eleven Combatant Commands.
  The Squadron's leadership has fostered a culture defined by 
integrity, respect, and excellence. This commitment is reflected in the 
highest Defense Equal Opportunity Climate Survey ratings in the wing 
and in achieving a 100 percent civilian position fill rate. The 60 CPTS 
has also distinguished itself as a pioneer in workforce development and 
personnel processing. It established the first official SkillBridge 
location within an Air Force Comptroller Squadron, created a Palace 
Acquire Program, and acquired off-network laptops to digitize in-
processing and reintegration, eliminating paper delays and 
significantly reducing member wait times. These initiatives strengthen 
the future of the Air Force financial management enterprise and set new 
benchmarks for efficiency.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the men and women of the 
60th Comptroller Squadron for their extraordinary accomplishments, 
their unwavering dedication to mission readiness, and their profound 
contributions to the strength of the United States Armed Forces. Their 
innovation, leadership, and commitment to excellence bring great credit 
upon themselves, the United States Air Force, and our Nation.
