Lackland
AFB is located in San Antonio, Texas. San Antonio is in Bexar
(pronounced bear) County in south central Texas. San Antonio
is home to three large military installations and is known for
its friendliness to the military. Businesses actively court
the military by offering discounts. Although the summers are
hot, overall the climate is relatively mild and offers
opportunities to be active year round. The cost of living
remains around 90, below the national average of 100. No
matter what your interests are, there is undoubtedly something
here for you. The base operator's phone number is
210-671-1110, or DSN 312-473-1110.
History
Lackland AFB is named after Brigadier General Frank Lackland,
who was commissioned into the Army after serving in the
District of Columbia National Guard. Construction on the base
began on June 15, 1941, and was originally part of Kelly
Field. One year later, it became an independent organization
called the San Antonio Aviation Cadet Center. On February 3,
1948, the facility became Lackland AFB, Gateway to the Air
Force.
Mission
The Lackland family is spread across three different commands:
Air Education and Training Command (AETC), Air Combat Command
(ACC), and Air Force Material Command (AFMC). It is also a
joint services base with members of the Air Force, Army, Navy,
Marines, and Coast Guard.
Lackland's mission is to:
1. Provide basic training for all non-prior service airmen of
the regular Air Force, Air National Guard, and Air Force
Reserve.
2. Provide modern technical training in the fields of security
and law enforcement, military working dog handling, combat
arms, recruiting, supply, transportation, services, food
preparation, and social actions.
3. Provides students from 117 countries the opportunity to
increase their proficiency in the English language through its
Defense Language Institute English Language Center.
4. Provide technical training in Spanish for military allies
from Central and South America.
5. Provide medical training programs at Wilford Hall Medical
Center.
Population Served
Team Lackland consists of approximately 40,000 people. Of
these, 14,000 are active duty members. Another 5,000 are DoD
civilian employees. The remaining 21,000 are contract
employees, and family members.
Base Transportation
Shuttle service is available to 21 locations on base. Buses
run every 15-20 minutes and shuttle stops are clearly marked.
Technical school students are the primary customer base, but
others can ride on a space available basis. Schedules are
