Mayor Reacts to Announcement that Army North Command and Army South Command Will Combine

SAN ANTONIO (October 16, 2025) – Following the announcement from Chief of Staff of the Army Gen. Randy A. George on the Western Hemisphere Command, which will combine the Army North Command, Army South Command and Force Command (FORSCOM), Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones released the following statement:

“As Army leaders shared with us earlier this summer, they are taking steps to achieve efficiencies to accomplish their mission. While I am disappointed to hear the consolidated headquarters will relocate to North Carolina, Army leaders this summer indicated even this outcome could yield a minimal impact to the overall Army footprint at JBSA. We await additional details on the actual number of personnel that may be reassigned because of this change. San Antonio is unmatched in our ability to host military missions and families, and we look forward to working with the Department of War and Department of the Army to identify additional missions San Antonio may be able to host.”
