Houston MEPS, 9th BN, US Military Entrance Processing Command

Houston ME">Located in the historic Old U.S. Customs House in the heart of downtown, the Houston MEPS has been processing applicants for the Armed Forces at the present site since 1966.

With a small staff, the MEPS aptitudinally tests, medically examines, enlists and ships to recruit training, thousands of young people annually. Although the financial impact made by the MEPS may be miniscule in a city the size of Houston, the MEPS has a significant impact on the lives of the youngsters from southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana and their families.

The Houston MEPS is one of a network of 65 MEPS located nationwide and in Puerto Rico.

A separate Department of Defense (DoD) agency, USMEPCOM is comprised of two geographical sectors and staffed with personnel from all military services.

The Houston MEPS has enlistment responsibility for 57 counties in Texas and 6 counties in Louisiana. Aptitude testing is offered at the MEPS and at Military Entrance Test (MET) sites near applicants' homes, reducing applicant travel time. A complete listing of the offices can be found on the Military Entrance Test (MET) Sites page of this site.
