On behalf of all the men and women of the 502d Air Base Wing (Joint Base San Antonio), welcome to "Military City USA." It's not just a slogan, but a way of life for the people of this incredible city. They truly embrace our service members and their families and make them feel at home.
Encompassing three geographically separated installations (Lackland AFB, Randolph AFB and Fort Sam Houston), Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA) is home to more than 73,000 permanent party military and civilian employees, and supports a yearly student population of more than 138,000. With an annual operating budget of $800 million and more than 200 "mission partner" units, Joint Base San Antonio is the single largest base/enterprise in the entire Department of Defense (DoD).
Joint Base San Antonio is a great place to live, work and play. We have excellent on-base housing, BX/PX facilities, commissaries, childcare, medical/dental care, fire and emergency services, barracks/dorms, training areas and recreation facilities, and we are fully committed to making them better. With a full complement of Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine and Coast Guard personnel, the 502d Air Base Wing is committed to providing consistently excellent service to all our "mission partners."
One team, One fight!
We are confident that you will find your tour of service in "Military City USA" a pleasurable one, with fond memories to last a lifetime. Thank you for your service to our nation!
Brig Gen Leonard Patrick and CMSgt Juan Lewis
