let me move on to another Army officer and the same kind of billet that, again, really matters. This would be again on missile defense. This is Lt. Gen. Philip A. Garrant of the U.S. Space Force--I apologize. I mentioned he was in the Army. He is actually in the U.S. Space Force--to be Lieutenant General Commander, Space Systems Command, U.S. Space Force--again a really important billet. Once again, if you look at this career, it is 29 years--29 years--of patriotic service to our country. Think about what his family has been through--multiple deployments. Lieutenant General Garrant has served as the Commander of the 689 ARSS Air Armament Center, Eglin Air Force Base, and Vice Commander and Deputy Air Force Program Executive Officer for the Space and Missiles Systems Center, Los Angeles Air Force Base. By the way, these officers who are doing all of the space work--Space Force, Army, Navy--are brilliant. We don't have their resumes in terms of their schools, but I guarantee you these are physicists--brilliant, brilliant Army, Space Force, Air Force officers whom all Americans should be proud of. Lieutenant General Garrant most recently served as Deputy Chief of Space Operations Strategy, Plans, Programs, and Requirements for the U.S. Space Force. We can confirm him right now by an individual voice vote, Madam President.…
