 History
Fort Sam Houston was founded in 1845, and named for General Sam Houston, hero of the battle of San Jacinto and first president of the Republic of Texas. Fort Sam Houston is unique among Army posts. On one hand, it is a major, active military installation and plays a vital role in the defense of the United States. On the other hand, it contains some of the oldest structures on any Army installation. Two of those sighs are the Pershing House and the Quadrangle. This blend of old and new gives today’s soldiers a share of the post’s history, which dates back more than 150 years.
 Mission
The primary mission of Fort Sam Houston is as a medical training and support post. The post is the home of the HQ U.S. 5th Army, the U.S. Army 5th Recruiting Brigade, Brooke Army Medical Center, Institute of Surgical Research, the U.S. Army Medical Department Center and School, the U.S. Army Center Brigade, and the U.S. Army Medical Command.
