Randolph Air Force Base, the “Showplace of the Air Force,” was dedicated June 20, 1930, as a training base for fliers and continues in that mission today.
Randolph lies just northeast of San Antonio in Universal City.
The base employs over 5,000 military personnel and 4,600 civilian employees. Randolph is the site for the headquarters of the U.S. Air Force’s Air Education and Training Command, one of the Air Force’s major commands, as well as for the 19th Air Force.
The 12th Flying Training Wing serves as the host unit for many tenant organizations such as the Air Force Personnel Center, Air Force Recruiting Service Headquarters, Occupational Measurement Squadron and Air Force Manpower and Innovation Agency.
