San Antonio, long known as ‘Military City, USA’, is about to undergo a significant change. The relocation of the Army North and Army South commands to Fort Bragg, North Carolina marks a turning point in the city’s military history. The decision, made official by Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George, is part of a broader force streamlining strategy announced by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
San Antonio’s history as a military hub dates back to World War II. Despite the closure of Kelly Air Force Base in 2001, which once employed 25,000 people, the city remained a significant location for the military. While the current command shift will cost jobs, it will not have the same emotional and economic impact as the Kelly closure.
The decision to move the commands is viewed by some as politically motivated, especially considering that San Antonio is a blue city in a red state. City leaders had been preparing for this change since the spring, when plans to reduce the number of four-star generals were announced. Despite the challenges, the military remains the city’s largest employer with over 86,000 employees.
San Antonio has shown in the past that it can adapt to change. The closing of Kelly led to the creation of Joint Base San Antonio, the nation’s largest joint military base. This ability to adapt gives the city confidence that it can overcome the current challenge. As a chapter of ‘Military City, USA’ closes, history continues to be written.
