Arizona Military Affairs Commission
In December 2003, the Governor’s Military Facilities Task Force put forth
27 recommendations to ensure long‐term retention of the State’s military facilities so
that they may continue to perform their vital national defense functions and maintain
their critical role in the Arizona economy. On May 17, 2004, Governor Janet Napolitano
signed House Bill 2140, a comprehensive military support bill that included a number of
the recommendations of the Task Force, including the establishment of the Military
Affairs Commission (MAC). In 2014, Governor Brewer issued Executive Order 2014,
entitled Sustainment of Arizona's Military Installations, which reinforces the Military
Affairs Commission's mission and commitment to support the military in Arizona.
The specific responsibilities of the MAC are to advise Arizona’s Executive and Legislative
Branches on pertinent issues relating to the military and its installations throughout the
state, to protect the ongoing strategic military missions, and to prioritize property
applications as part of the administration of the Military Installation Fund (MIF). The
membership of the MAC is composed of 18 appointed commissioners representing the
military, local elected officials, and private property interests, as well as four advisory
members comprising the Arizona Adjutant General, the Arizona State Land Department
Commissioner, a representative from a federal land managing agency, and a military
installation commander representative.
Military Installation Fund
The MIF was also established by House Bill 2140 in 2004. Beginning in fiscal year
2004‐2005 and continuing in each successive fiscal year, $4.825 million dollars will be
appropriated from the state general fund for the MIF. Arizona Revised Statute
§41‐1512.01 identifies specific disbursement components that must be adhered to, as
follows.
