Total Force Team

Thank you for your interest in partnering with the Arizona National Guard in support of Service Members, Veterans and their Families. We appreciate your willingness to be a part of the community effort to care for and support all who serve.

Within the Arizona National Guard, the Total Force Team is responsible for all Service Member and Family support programs, including partnership with external organizations. This partnership with community partners is conducted in coordination with the Arizona Coalition for Military Families [Add link to ACMF page].

The information on this page outlines the process and guidelines for partnership with the Guard. Please review the information and steps and if you have questions at any time contact Patrick Ziegert, Community Partner Coordinator, at 602-267-2117 or patrick.ziegert@us.army.mil for assistance.

Steps for individuals and organizations who are interested in partnering with the Guard:

1.   Review the Partnership Guidelines outlined in the TFT Community Partner Information & Application. These guidelines have been developed to ensure that the needs of our Service Members and Families are prioritized and that the efforts of community partners are best engaged.

2.   Complete the brief application and submit to Patrick Ziegert:

By email (preferred): patrick.ziegert@us.army.mil

By fax: xxxxxxxx

By mail: xxxxxxxxx

NOTE: Potential partner organizations are encouraged to review the Guidelines for CARE vetting process [link – will provide] administered by the Arizona Coalition for Military Families and to complete the process if appropriate for your organization.

3.   Connect to the appropriate person/program at the Arizona National Guard Total Force Team to partner. Once you submit the application, you will be contacted by a member of the Total Force Team. If there is not a current fit between what you are seeking to provide and the needs of Guard Members and their Families at this time, referrals to other military entities will be provided as appropriate.

If there is a fit with the needs of Guard Members and their Families, you will be connected to the right person or program within the Arizona National Guard Total Force Team.

Thank you again for your interest in partnering with the Arizona National Guard in support of all those who serve!
