Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland is home to the 37th Training Wing (TRW), the largest training wing in the U.S. Air Force. We have a rich history of refueling the world’s greatest Air Force with trained and prepared Airmen ready to answer our nation’s call. Also known as the “Gateway to the Air Force,” the 37th TRW is home to three groups and one academy, each with a training mission.

Our mission includes basic military training of all enlisted recruits entering the Air Force, Space Force, Air Force Reserve, and Air National Guard; technical training for a wide array of career fields and functions; English language training for international military personnel attending the Defense Language Institute’s in-residence campus and abroad through mobile training teams; and specialized training for our Latin American partner nation students that is conducted in Spanish by active-duty Airmen at the Inter-American Air Forces Academy.

Our vision embodies our Air Force Core Values and reflects what we want to achieve and deliver as an organization: training executed at a level of excellence that produces competent, capable, and professional American Airmen ready to serve and protect our nation at home and abroad. We are developing better citizens for the world. 

More than 2,000 military and civilian members of the wing work to provide training and education to more than 66,000 students annually. We are providing foundational training and education to develop mission ready Airmen, Guardians, sister service members and international students.
