Fort Buchanan is a United States Army post located in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico. It was established in 1923, and in 1999 became the headquarters for United States Army South (USARSO). Major General Alfred Valenzuela commanded USARSO, but in 2003 the USARSO headquarters were moved to Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas. Today the fort services the 65th Infantry Regiment and the National Guard.
