DOCUMENT Full-Text Office of History, 502d Air Base Wing, Joint Base San Antonio.

This short report briefly documents the history of the 502d Air Base Wing, which traces its lineage back to 1947. The 502 ABW became the host unit for Fort Sam Houston, Lackland AFB, and Randolph AFB. While all three installations and Camp Bullis (supported by Fort Sam Houston) made up JBSA, none shared a fence line, and each maintained its long and distinguished historical identity.
