13. Deep Military Roots
Texas hosts 15 active-duty military installations, including major bases like Fort Hood, Fort Bliss, and Joint Base San Antonio, which encompasses Lackland, Randolph, and Sam Houston. These installations play a vital role in national defense, supporting training, logistics, and medical services. The Texas Military Forces, comprising the Army National Guard, Air National Guard, and State Guard, further contribute to the state’s deep military heritage (gov.texas.gov).
