Road Trip: Joint Base San Antonio, Texas

Joint Base San Antonio is the largest base organization in the Department of Defense, comprising three primary locations at JBSA-Fort Sam Houston, Lackland and Randolph, and more than 200 mission partners.

JBSA was established in accordance with congressional legislation implementing the recommendations of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission. The legislation ordered the consolidation of the three facilities which were adjoining, but separate military installations, into a single Joint Base, one of 12 formed in the United States as a result of the law.

Joint Base San Antonio supports a population of 80,000 and supports students at three installations annually of up to 138,000. Upon becoming the largest single DoD installation/enterprise, it has a total Plant Replacement Value of about 10.3 billion, leads a work force of over 8,000 personnel, manages an annual budget of 800 million, interfaces with 1,000 civic leaders of San Antonio, 20 smaller communities, four counties and four Congressional Districts, support more than 200 mission partners, supported and supporting units, and finally, support more than 250,000 other personnel including 425 retired general officers (2nd largest concentration in U.S.)

The primary mission at Fort Sam Houston is as a medical training and support post. The 502d Mission Support Group performs the installation support mission . The post is the home of Army North, Army South, Army 5th Recruiting Brigade, Brooke Army Medical Center, the Institute of Surgical Research, the Army Medical Department Center and School, the Army Medical Command and the 502d Air Base Wing.

Lackland Air Force Base is home to more than 120 Department of Defense and associate organizations, including the 37th Training Wing, the largest training wing in the U.S. Air Force. Lackland is the Air Force's only site for enlisted basic military training, and also offers professional and technical skills, and English language training for members of the U.S. Air Force, other military services, government agencies, and allies. Its four primary training functions graduate more than 86,000 students annually.

Randolph Air Force Base is home to more than 30 Department of Defense units including Headquarters Air Education and Training Command, Air Force Personnel Center, Air Force Recruiting Service, and the 12th Flying Training Wing.

Thank you for the post of Palin. Just don’t understand why men are so afraid of her. She is witty and smart. God I wish I had been able to go. It’s people like her and West and Ryan and Michele B and the like that restore my hope.

Hope you are having spring weather out your way. We’re still on a see-saw over here.

Have a sunnylicious day!
