DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

ANNUAL REPORT Fiscal Year 2006

Maj. Gen. Robert G.F. Lee Adjutant General

3949 Diamond Head Road, Honolulu, Hawaii 96816-4495 808 733-4246 / (808) 733-4238 Fax Email: [email protected] / Website: www.dod.state.gov Dear Governor Lingle:

It is my honor to provide the State of Hawaii, Department of Defense’s Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2006.

The year proved to be a momentous one in the history of the Hawaii National Guard. The 29th Brigade Combat Team successfully completed the largest deployment of Hawaii Army National Guard troops since World War II as they returned home from Iraq and Kuwait. Other smaller units also completed their year-long missions in Afghanistan.

The Hawaii Air National Guard made a history of its own as it stood up an active-duty/Air National Guard associate unit with eight C-17 Globemaster III transport aircraft. In addition, dozens of Hawaii Air National Guard personnel deployed to support the war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The State Civil Defense helped to coordinate the response to constant and torrential rains that hit Kauai and Oahu particularly hard in March and April 2006. The Office of Veterans Services continued to provide excellent service to the nearly 10 percent of Hawaii’s population that has proudly worn the uniform of America’s armed forces, and the Youth CHalleNGe Academy gave several hundred at-risk Hawaii teens the tools and confidence they will need to become productive citizens.

The State of Hawaii, Department of Defense, has again shown that it is competent, capable and adding tremendous value to the lives of Hawaii’s residents.

Sincerely,

ROBERT G.F. LEE Major General Hawaii Army National Guard Adjutant General OFFICIAL PARTY – Gov. Linda Lingle and Maj. Gen. Robert G.F. Lee, the adjutant general, await troops in the United Service Organization’s “Salute to the Troops” parade to marching through the streets of Waikiki, honoring members of wars past and present.

The McKay Trophy went to the team that performed the most outstanding flight of the year. The aviation members had been rescued in a daring mission in 2004 in Iraq when their CH-47 helicopter went down in a blinding sandstorm.
