Ft Sam Houston Leads Modern Army Changes at Fort San Antonio
The final Armed Forces Week piece highlights Ft. Sam Houston as it modernizes under the Modern Volunteer Army. Headquarters commands post resources, trains medical personnel, and supports tenant activities. The Medical Training Center runs a weekly program for enlisted men and eight weeks for enlisted women, with courses in bandaging, splinting, resuscitation, and trauma care. The Strategic Forces units in the 1st Medical Group maintain field hospital and helicopter crew skills for global deployment within 72 hours. A seven-building living complex worth 13 million dollars expands dorms for men and women, adds a two-battalion HQ, a consolidated dining facility for 2,500, and new chapel, PX, and theater nearby. The plan, part of a broader Army modernization, aims to boost readiness, streamline structure, and deliver about 190 billion dollars in five-year savings, with changes expected within 12 months.
