SAMAD stands for Southeastern Arizona Military Administrative District. The three counties of southeastern Arizona--Pima, Santa Cruz, and Cochise--are under the control of the military leadership of Fort Huachuca from 1998 onward. Civilian government still exists, after a fashion. The real decisions get made at Fort Huachuca, however.
