DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
ANNUAL REPORT Fiscal Year 2014
Maj. Gen. Arthur “Joe” Logan Adjutant General
3949 Diamond Head Road, Honolulu, Hawaii 96816-4495 (808) 733-4246 / 733-4238 Fax Website: www.dod.hawaii.gov Dear Governor Ige:
It is my privilege to present the State of Hawaii, Department of Defense Annual Report for FY 14.
The entries in this report cover the final fiscal year of the previous administration, providing a very good overview of our department’s roles, missions and capabilities.
This report also highlights many of the significant contributions our soldiers, airmen and civilian workforce made to our state and nation in FY14. Hundreds of Hawaii Army National Guard soldiers and Hawaii Air National Guard airmen deployed to multiple countries over the past year in support of U.S. military efforts overseas. Our Army Guard engineers also helped rebuild a damaged school in the Philippines following one of the most powerful tropical cyclones ever recorded.
The State Civil Defense was restructured and has transitioned into the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency. The change is far more than just the name—new ways of managing smaller-scale disasters have empowered county mayors to become even more effective than before. The Office of Veterans Services continues to upgrade the Hawaii State Veterans Cemetery on Oahu and provide outstanding service to our veterans across the state, while the Youth Challenge Academy celebrated its 20th anniversary in Hawaii. Youth Challenge provides a venue for at-risk teens to get back on track, and complete their high school education.
Although the departmental leadership has changed, we can always rely on the outstanding dedication of our men and women in uniform who provide support every day of the year, helping to protect and care for Hawaii and its people. We look forward to continuing this tradition of excellence under our watch.
Sincerely,
Arthur J. “Joe” Logan Major General Hawaii National Guard Adjutant General GUARD BIRTHDAY CAKE – Command Chief Master Sgt. Robert S.K. Lee III, Airman 1st Class Kaitlyn Tydingco, Col.

REPRESENTING THE TEAM – Danny Tengan, Shelly Kunishige and Leighton Ah Cook represented the Hawaii State Dept. of Defense Team of the Year: the Community Resilience Outreach and Education Team, HI-EMA. Also on the team were Kevin Richards, Marsha Tamura, Brian Miyamoto, Steven Yoshimura, Brandee Nishimura, Jennifer Howlett, Meischa Jackson and Steven Sigler. The goal of the team is to engage the public in emergency preparedness through meetings, presentations, and appearances at fairs and events. An engaged public is crucial to ensuring the preparedness and resilience of the community-at-large to the natural and manmade disasters that could potentially affect the state. The Outreach Team educated over 500 plus Hawaii residents on potential hazards and preparedness and worked to establish the Hawaii Hazards Awareness and Resilience Program in island communities.
