This article acknowledges the benefits of having a military base in Fort Bliss in El Paso, because you are close to home.

The 4th Expeditionary Sustainment Command has its headquarters in San Antonio, Texas but we are present in five states, two time zones, and 25 communities from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Little Rock, Arkansas.

El Paso, Texas is one of the communities where our Soldiers pursue civilian careers or attend college full-time, and still serve their community and country.

Specialist Hector Perez and Specialist Fernanda Valadez, both 92F – Petroleum Supply Specialists, serve with the 263rd Quartermaster Company, a local El Paso Army Reserve unit.
