History
Brooks City Base (AFB) takes its name from Sidney Johnson Brooks, Jr., the first flying cadet to lose his life in San Antonio during training prior to participation in World War I. Brooks Field became the Primary Flying School for the Army Air Corps. The Primary Flying School continued operation until 1931, when it moved to Randolph Field in San Antonio. During World War II, Brooks Field housed the School for Combat Observers and the Advanced Flying School (Observation). The program remained in operation until 1943, when it was disbanded. In 1948, Brooks Field formally became Brooks Air Force Base. Since the early 1950s, Brooks AFB has been the home for the Aerospace Medical Center, which include the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine (SAM). In 1957, SAM scientists moved into the newly completed center at Brooks AFB. USAFSAM aided the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), with Project Mercury. After the Vietnam War the base’s mission narrowed to one centered on specific research related to U.S. Air Force fliers and personnel. In 1991, the Air Force was selected to house the Armstrong Laboratory, which included the Air Force Human Resources Laboratory, the Air Force Drug Testing Laboratory, the Harry G. Armstrong Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory, the Air Force Occupational and Environmental Health Laboratory, and the laboratory functions of SAM. In 1995, military planners, as part of the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC), approved the gradual transition in ownership of Brooks AFB from the Air Force to the City of San Antonio. On July 22, 2002, the City of San Antonio assumed control of the newly named Brooks City-Base.
