Maj. Gen. Arthur “Joe” Logan Adjutant General

3949 Diamond Head Road, , 96816-4495 (808) 733-4246 / 733-4238 Fax Website: www.dod.hawaii.gov Dear Governor Ige:

It is my distinct honor to present the State of Hawaii, Department of Defense Annual Report for FY 15.

Our department was tested in August 2014 after Tropical Storm Iselle slammed into the Big Isle. Our Hawaii Emergency Management Agency and our Hawaii National Guard soldiers and airmen responded resolutely to rapidly assist those residents who had been impacted. Our department was tested again during Exercise VIGILANT GUARD/MAKANI PAHILI 15 in June. This was the largest natural disaster exercise in Hawaii National Guard history, refining our plans to enable us to be even more responsive in the event of another large-scale event within the state.

The Office of Veterans Services continued to upgrade the Hawaii State Veterans Cemetery in Kaneohe and provide outstanding support to our large veteran population and the Youth CHalleNGe Academy graduated more cadets with high school diplomas than any previous year.

Our State of Hawaii, Department of Defense, which includes the Hawaii , the Hawaii , the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency, the Office of Veterans Services and the Office of Homeland Security, remains poised to protect and defend the citizens of our great state and provide vital services to our veterans and youth at risk.

Sincerely,

Arthur J. “Joe” Logan Major General Hawaii National Guard Adjutant General I SWEAR TO . . . – Gov. David Ige administers the oath of office to newly promoted Hawaii Adjutant General, Maj. Gen. Arthur J. “Joe” Logan at Washington Place in January 2015. Master Sgt. (Ret.) Stephen M. Lum photo
