Military bases
in Arizona.

Official published count

How many military bases are in Arizona?

Arizona has 6 major military installations, according to the Arizona Governor’s Office.

The state’s November 2023 study identifies six major installations and four National Guard operations separately. We retain that published scope; our linked profiles are not the complete six-installation list.

What this count includes

This guide counts the major operating, training, support and industrial installations linked below. Selected major Guard and Reserve installations are included where listed; smaller armories and individual units are not a complete part of this inventory. A joint base is grouped once, while distinct installations may share an airport or regional command.

Our linked coverage below may differ from the official total and its counting rules. Open a guide for its official sources and review date.

Profile pages, tenant units, medical facilities and companion arrival guides are not automatically separate bases. Closed, realigned and unconfirmed listings are excluded from this guide count. The directory below retains those profiles and their status explanations.

Get your bearings

One state. Different starting points.

These editorial groupings help you browse. Your orders and sponsor determine your reporting destination.

2 profile pages

Phoenix, Glendale & the West Valley

Luke and Goldwater are different installations. The Sky Harbor passenger terminal is not the Guard reporting point.

  • Luke Air Force Base Glendale; West Valley · Luke and Goldwater Air National Guard Base are different campuses. A Phoenix flight or commercial terminal address is not a military reporting destination.
  • Goldwater Air National Guard Base Phoenix Sky Harbor military campus · The passenger terminal is not military reception.

1 profile page

Tucson & Pima County

Davis-Monthan supports assigned military and tenant organizations. Use current mission and sponsor information.

  • Davis-Monthan Air Force Base Tucson; Pima County · A Tucson airport arrival does not complete military reporting. Confirm the assigned command and current campus access rather than relying on historical aircraft descriptions.

1 profile page

Sierra Vista & Cochise County

Fort Huachuca staff, students and training visitors can have different arrival instructions.

  • Fort Huachuca Sierra Vista; Cochise County · An intelligence course, reserve training event and permanent assignment can require different reporting and billeting. The fort is distinct from Tucson-area installations.

2 profile pages

Yuma & the Southwest

MCAS Yuma and Yuma Proving Ground are different Marine and Army destinations.

  • Marine Corps Air Station Yuma Yuma · An order to MCAS Yuma does not mean Yuma Proving Ground. Confirm the exact Marine unit, gate and current reporting point.
  • Yuma Proving Ground Yuma County; separate from MCAS · A test project or range visit does not authorize unrestricted access. Confirm the approved worksite and route; MCAS Yuma is another installation.

1 profile page

Bellemont & Northern Arizona

Camp Navajo near Flagstaff is a separate training installation; confirm the approved facility and billeting.

  • Camp Navajo Bellemont; Coconino County · Unit billeting and training-area allocations are different from family accommodation.

Before the boxes are packed

Plan the move around your household.

Prepare the school transfer

Confirm the receiving district and military-student transition contact.

State compact contacts

Check the journey

Check the route to your actual reporting point, including any journey across state lines. Use current road information and confirm the final entrance separately with the host.

State travel information

Prepare the household

Identify alert information for the community where you will live. Ask the unit how local instructions reach personnel and include those channels in your household planning.

State preparedness resources

Official reference

Does an assignment reserve housing or child care?

Confirm eligibility and availability separately with the responsible installation offices.

Official reference

How should we choose a school?

Use the intended home address and receiving district; state compact contacts can help with military-student transition questions.

Official reference

Are the regions official boundaries or commute promises?

No. They are editorial navigation groups. Check the actual duty location and current road conditions.

Sources, names & coverage.

State guide checked . The sources below support this location overview; each reviewed installation guide has its own evidence register.

  • All 7 guides completed an online source review on November 4, 2026. This was not a phone call, site visit or official endorsement.
  • Search current and former names, then confirm the actual command, campus and reporting category with the sponsor.
  • Counts describe guide pages rather than independent host bases. Status and service filters describe the directory classification, not every tenant or duty status.
  • Confirm current command instructions, access, eligibility and availability. Older official directory text can contain dated names, mislabeled contacts or restricted links; precise prices, gate schedules and capacity are not treated as live guarantees.
