In July, U.S. Representative Will Hurd was joined by San Antonio Congressmen Joaquin Castro, Henry Cuellar and Lamar Smith in sending a letter to General Frank Grass, Chief of the National Guard Bureau, advocating for the consideration of San Antonio when choosing cities for these new units to be based in. San Antonio is known as both Military City, USA, as well as Cyber City, USA, so thereisno question that the National Guard has chosen the right city at the right time, said Hurd, a former undercover CIA officer who handled cyber offensive operations while servingoverseas.When you consider the presence of the 24thand 25thAir Force, NSA-Texas, and the second-to-none cyberprogramsat the University of Texas at San Antonio, its clear that we have the resources and professional workforce necessary to supportthese kindsof operations. "Protecting Texas and the United States in the cyber domain is a complexand multifaceted journey," said Maj. Gen. John F Nichols, the Adjutant General for Texas. "We are excited to be given such a robust role inprotecting the state and nation's critical cyber infrastructure." "We are honored the nation has recognized Texas as a center of robustknowledge and understanding in revolutionary technology," said Brig. Gen.Dawn Ferrell, Deputy Adjutant General-Air, Texas Military Department.Ifyou want to be on the cutting-edge of cyber, come to San Antonio." Rep. Hurd has advocated for this decision since coming into office in January, meeting with stakeholders and decision makers to present a strong case for San Antonios readiness and capabilities. The cyber threats our nation faces are real and it makes me enormously proud to see my hometown at the forefront of this ongoing battle, Hurd concluded. ### SADEL CPT Support Letter.pdf | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
