Texas’ military installations significantly contribute to national security and the state’s economy. In spring 2024, the Comptroller’s office and the Texas Military Preparedness Commission collected economic data from each of the state’s 14 U.S. military installations. These data were collected using a survey designed to ensure consistency in determining the total direct and indirect contribution of the base’s populations to state-level employment, gross domestic product, output and disposable personal income and are specific to 2023.
This summer, Comptroller Glenn Hegar is visiting the Army Futures Command in Austin – the state’s newest military installation that specializes in research and training to modernize the U.S. Army.
*Fort Hood was officially redesignated to Fort Cavazos May 9, 2023, in honor of Gen. Richard Edward Cavazos.
