    DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ANNUAL REPORT Fiscal Year 2008 Maj. Gen. Robert G.F. Lee Adjutant General 3949 Diamond Head Road, Honolulu, Hawaii 96816-4495 (808) 733-4246 / 733-4238 Fax Website: www.hawaii.gov/dod Dear Governor Lingle: It is my privilege to present the State of Hawaii, Department of Defense Annual Report for FY 08. The Hawaii Army National Guard’s 29th Infantry Brigade Combat Team prepared for its upcoming deployment to Kuwait by conducting two annual training sessions. Other soldiers supported real-world contingency operations in Afghanistan, Iraq and the Philippines as well as exercises in locations such as Indonesia. The Hawaii Air National Guard supported operational contingencies in Germany, Guam and Ecuador, as well as exercises in locations such as Australia. Of particular note were the C-17 missions to Sichuan Province, China, to deliver relief supplies following the devastating earthquake of May 2008. Under the coordination of State Civil Defense, both Army Guard and Air Guard personnel assisted Maui residents following the flooding of December 2007.SCD also hosted numerous exercises and conferences with our federal, state, county and private sector partners throughout the year, helping to strengthen Hawaii’s response to future natural disasters. The Office of Veterans Services continues with outreach to Hawaii’s veteran population and their families. One out of ten Hawaii residents has served in the Armed Forces, one of the highest proportions of veterans of any state in the nation. The Youth CHalleNGe Academy helped another 200 cadets get their high school education and get back on track to becoming productive citizens.

    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.

Over the past year, the men and women of the department contributed significantly to the defense of our state and nation while helping to foster better relationships among our partners in the Asia-Pacific region. One significant highlight was the signing of the act that officially stood up the Office of Homeland Security, which placed the state’s fusion center under the department. This will allow for more streamlined command and control as we remain vigilant against the threats of terrorism and cyber crime. The Hawaii Army National Guard prepared to welcome back one unit from deployment in Afghanistan, while preparing to send two more units. The Hawaii Air National Guard’s F-22s, which it flies and maintains with the active duty Air Force, reached Full Operational Capability. The Hawaii National Guard played its part in hosting delegations from our State Partnership Programs with Indonesia and the Philippines as well as several other key nations in the region. On behalf of the soldiers and airmen of the Hawaii National Guard and our civilian workforce within the department, I can say that it has been an honor to serve the people of Hawaii this year. Sincerely, DARRYLL D.M.
