Those bills essentially must be melded on final version to be sent to President Donald Trump for his signature. <\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/armytimes\/news\/your-army\/2020\/02\/06\/arizona-adjutant-general-to-lead-national-guard-association\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/4942558.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Arizona adjutant general to lead National Guard Association<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Arizona&#039;s top National Guard officer is now the senior leader of a national group representing National Guard officers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A bipartisan trio of Arizona lawmakers \u2014 Republican Sen. Martha McSally and Democratic Reps. Tom O\u2019Halleran and Ruben Gallego \u2014 worked to include the Camp Navajo transfer in each chamber\u2019s bill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Transfer supporters say management of the land by the state would make it easier for businesses to locate in and around Camp Navajo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The legislative process has taken nearly five years after originally starting with the help of the late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is like a miracle to have this happen,\u201d said Julie Pastrick, president of the Northern Arizona Military Affairs Council and CEO of the Greater Flagstaff Chamber of Commerce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The land transfer would encourage private investment in the area \u201cand that will definitely shape the future and that landscape,\u201d Pastrick said. \u201cWe have fought for economic diversifications for so long.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arizona already has a large defense industry, but most of its jobs are centered in the Phoenix and Tucson metro areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Camp Navajo\u2019s location along a both a major rail line and Interstate 40 makes it an attractive location for many businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Camp Navajo itself could be an asset because many of its nearly 800 concrete igloo bunkers built to store munitions and other sensitive material could be useful to defense industries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Travis Schulte, legislative liaison with the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs, said the transfer also could contribute to forest restoration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last year, Northern Arizona University tested the viability of a wood chipping operation at Camp Navajo and showed that it could be profitable. The college took materials from local forest thinning efforts and shipped and sold them to a company in South Korea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Schulte said authorization of the land transfer would be followed by surveying , finalization of exactly which acres would be included and a detailed study of environmental factors and economic development opportunities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Department of Emergency and Military Affairs, Camp Navajo was established in 1942 as the Navajo Ordinance Depot to support U.S. forces fighting Japan in the Pacific during World War II. Its name changed to the Navajo Army Depot in 1965, Navajo Depot Activity in 1982 and Camp Navajo in 1993. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The installation has been under the Arizona National Guard\u2019s operational control since 1992. The Guard and other military service branches use the site for training. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A low-profile military base first established during World War II is
