Learn More About JBSA-Lackland

Located smack in the middle of San Antonio, Fort Sam Houston is the oldest of the three installations that make up Joint Base San Antonio. Its central location in “Military City USA,” and Bexar County (pronounced bear), makes Fort Sam the prime spot for overseeing support for the entire joint base, which falls to the 502d Air Base Wing.

On base housing is available, and quite unique, but you’d better be willing to wait it out. Rather than enduring months of waiting—and temporary lodging—many families choose to live in the surrounding communities. Working at the centrally located Fort Sam allows easy access to many of the downtown communities and the outlying suburbs of San Antonio.
