JBSA significantly contributes to the local economy, with an annual economic impact exceeding $55 billion. Joint Base San Antonio supports more DoD students and active runways than any other installation and houses the DoD's largest hospital and only level-one trauma center. The wing also manages and provides oversight for major projects, facilities and infrastructure worth more than $37 billion. (U.S. Air Force video by Sarayuth Pinthong) More
