Get oriented

At a glance.

Randolph is a Joint Base San Antonio location in the Universal City area. It supports flying training and headquarters functions. The historic Building 100 landmark is often called the Taj Mahal, but a landmark or a general JBSA address is not a newcomer’s reporting destination. [1]

Coordinate with the gaining organization and its personnel staff before arrival. [3]

Use the military housing office for Randolph-area eligibility, applications and referrals. [4]
