Approximately 5,200 enlisted medical students living in dorms at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston are being relocated due to what officials describe as "climate control systems and foundational defects" in the buildings.

A JBSA spokesperson confirmed to KSAT that Army, Navy and Air Force enlisted medical students assigned to the Medical Education and Training Campus (METC) "are being relocated to on-base temporary lodging." KSAT received several emails and calls from people claiming mold in the dorms is forcing hundreds of military members into base hotels.

JBSA's official statement, however, cited "infrastructure" issues rather than mold specifically.
