HISTORY
In 1906 and 1907, an area of about 17,000 acres near Leon Springs, just north of San Antonio, was
acquired by the military as a training ground and firing range. In 1917, the area was named Camp
Funston in honor of Maj. Gen. Frederick Funston but was redesignated Camp Stanley after learning
there was already a Camp Funston in Kansas. Camp Stanley is named after Brig. Gen. David S. Stanley,
a Medal of Honor recipient during the Civil War and a former Commander of the Department of Texas.
The camp was used as a training ground during World War I and hosted the First Officers’ Training
Camp and later the 57th Infantry Regiment, which included then Lt. Dwight D. Eisenhower. In 1917,
an additional 16,000 acres were leased, and a new camp was established called Camp Bullis. Together,
Camp Stanley and Camp Bullis became the Leon Spring Military Reservation.
Today, Camp Bullis serves
as a training base for Army, Air Force, and Marine units, while Camp Stanley is used for munitions
storage and testing.
CSSA is a Government-Owned, Government-Operated (GOGO) facility.
