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 goodoverview of our department’s roles, missions and capabilities.This report also highlights many of the significant contributions our soldiers, airmen and civilianworkforce made to our state and nation in FY14. Hundreds of Hawaii Army National Guard soldiersand Hawaii Air National Guard airmen deployed to multiple countries over the past year in support ofU.S. military efforts overseas. Our Army Guard engineers also helped rebuild a damaged school in thePhilippines following one of the most powerful tropical cyclones ever recorded.The State Civil Defense was restructured and has transitioned into the Hawaii Emergency ManagementAgency. The change is far more than just the name—new ways of managing smaller-scale disasters haveempowered county mayors to become even more effective than before. The Office of Veterans Servicescontinues to upgrade the Hawaii State Veterans Cemetery on Oahu and provide outstanding service to ourveterans 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 schooleducation.Although the departmental leadership has changed, we can always rely on the outstanding dedication ofour men and women in uniform who provide support every day of the year, helping to protect and care forHawaii and its people. We look forward to continuing this tradition of excellence under our watch.Sincerely,Arthur J. “Joe” LoganMajor GeneralHawaii National GuardAdjutant General
