City officials say the military supports more than 189,000 jobs with Joint Base San Antonio as the largest single employer, accounting for more than 92,000 positions.

The DoD has spent billions of dollars on a number of projects in the Alamo City, including the establishment of a major military medical center at Fort Sam Houston.
