The award encourages base leaders to promote innovative and creative ways to enhance base services, facilities and quality of life. Travis was one of two finalists in 2011 for the prestigious award at the Air Force level, which included $1 million for the winning base to be spent on quality-of-life programs and projects. Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany ended up winning the top honors. "It's clear our people have energetically enhanced the mission capabilities and productivity through innovation and teamwork," said Gen. Paul Selva, Air Mobility Command commander. "Thank you for your commitment to excellence in all we do."
