First activated in 1957 as the 1st Aeromedical Evacuation Group, the 60th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron at Travis Air Force Base, California, is comprised of 160 flight and ground personnel.
They provide half of Air Mobility Command's immediate response for aeromedical evacuation, capable of rapid patient movement around the globe in any environment.
The 60th AES's arrival at Travis AFB makes the wing the only AMC wing to have all four core capabilities of airlift, air refueling, airfield management, and aeromedical evacuation.
