The Spearhead was put out by the officers and enlisted men of Fort Sam Houston, Texas, and was written for them. The page-one masthead says it was “Published By The Officers and Men of Fort Sam Houston,” and the page-two masthead says it was published weekly “By and For” them. The printer was American Printers, listed on the page-two masthead. The post was mostly home to the 2nd Infantry Division, so most of the issue covers its units: the 9th, 23rd and 38th Infantry, the division artillery, engineers and medics, plus post units like the radio intelligence companies.
