AFMC leadership visits AFIMSC

Chief Master Sgt. James "Bill" E. Fitch II, command chief, Air Force Materiel Command, poses for a photo with Tech. Sgt. Anthony Novak at the Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center headquarters at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas, on March 3, 2026. Novak, a budget technician in the AFIMSC Financial Management Directorate, was recognized for directing emergency pay actions during the 2025 government shutdown, restoring pay for 250 members in under 48 hours. He also led the Department of the Air Force’s voucher balancing program, preventing the potential loss of $1.1 billion and driving a 50% reduction in discrepancies. His work significantly improved pay system integrity and cut customer wait times. (U.S. Air Force photo by Luke Allen)
