Tennessee Joint Force HQ

The Tennessee Joint Force Headquarters (JFHQ) serves as the central command element for the Tennessee National Guard, providing leadership, coordination, and support for both the Army and Air National Guard units within the state. Established to streamline operational control and enhance response capabilities, the JFHQ is responsible for overseeing domestic operations such as disaster response, homeland security, and emergency management, while also supporting federal missions abroad. Throughout its history, the Tennessee JFHQ has coordinated deployments for overseas operations, including in Iraq and Afghanistan, and has played a vital role in state relief efforts during natural disasters like floods and tornadoes. Its ongoing mission ensures the readiness, training, and integration of Tennessee’s military forces to support both state and national objectives.
