General Information:
The METC Tri-Service Campus is located on Fort Sam Houston, Texas in the City of San Antonio. METC trains enlisted medical personnel from all branches of service in a state-of-the-art DoD healthcare education campus. All Warrior Care begins here at the METC!
Because of this unique mission, the campus receives many requests from individuals and groups for tours each year. The METC Campus is not open to the public. All tour guests must be escorted by a METC official. For information on entering Ft Sam Houston, please visit the base visitor page.

Group Tour Information:
If you have a group interested in visiting METC, please note these guidelines:
-- There must be at least 10 people in your group. For logistical and security reasons we cannot host tours for smaller groups. Smaller groups can be combined to meet the minimum. Contact the PAO for more information.
-- Tours are best suited for groups age 12 and older.
-- METC can accommodate groups of up to 40 people. However, consideration will be given for larger group sizes on a case-by-case basis.
-- Groups must provide their own transportation. METC does not have sufficient parking to accommodate groups whose members arrive separately. Please make arrangements to gather at another location.
-- All visitors age 18 or over must have U.S. federal or state government issued identification. As a result of security concerns, we cannot host foreign groups unless they have been cleared through their embassy.
-- You will be required to submit information to the METC Public Affairs Office to gain base access at least 14 days in advance of your visit.
*This information is required by the base Visitor Control Center to authorize entry on the base. If not provided the group or affected individuals in the group will be refused entry. In addition, all guests must present a valid photo ID upon arriving at the designated access gate.
