Dear Governor Lingle:
It is a privilege for me to provide you with the State of Hawaii, Department of Defense Annual Report for
FY 2005. This report summarizes the extraordinary work that the men and women of our department have
been performing during this fiscal year.
The Hawaii Army National Guard went through its biggest call up since the Vietnam War with more
than 2000 soldiers of the 29th Brigade Combat Team and other units mobilized and sent to various areas
in the Middle East to include Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan.
Hawaii Air National Guard members also supported the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) sending
Airman to Iraq, Afghanistan and other areas within the Central Command area of responsibility. Besides
supporting the GWOT and various humanitarian missions the HIANG began preparations to stand up the
Air Guard and Active Duty’s first C-17 associate unit at Hickam Air Force Base.
State Civil Defense was busy this fiscal year with disaster relief and disaster preparedness. SCD
participated in numerous exercises as well as real life disaster relief efforts after the Manoa floods in
October.
The Office of Veterans Services continues to be an advocate for Veterans issues here in the State of
Hawaii and was instrumental in providing the 29th BCT the necessary information regarding Veterans
affairs prior to activation.
The Youth Challenge Academy graduated its 23 class this fiscal year. The program continues to prove
itself over and over again, graduating over XX at-risk-youths since its inception in 1994.
The State of Hawaii, Department of Defense is ready and able to protect, support and defend the
residents of Hawaii whenever needed.
Sincerely,
ROBERT G.F. LEE
