ANNUAL REPORTFiscal Year 2007

Dear Governor Lingle:It is my honor to provide the State of Hawaii, Department of Defense’s Annual Report for Fiscal Year

2007.The Hawaii Army National Guard kept its tempo up this year through numerous exercises and unit

deployments. The 29th Infantry Brigade Combat Team and the 103rd Troop Command missionsincluded Operation JUMP START in Arizona, Exercise YAMA SAKURA in Japan and Fort Lewis Wash.,Exercise GARUDA SHIELD in Indonesia, Exercise TIGER BALM in Singapore, and Exercises BRIGADEWARFIGHTER and RISING WARRIOR at Schofield Barracks. This past year, many of the Hawaii ArmyGuard Soldiers trained and deployed to the Philippines, Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq for operationsin support of the global war on terrorism.

The Hawaii Air National Guard celebrated the Air Force’s 60th birthday and was quite busy with 14deployments during the past year, highlighted by the communications personnel in Iraq in support ofOperation IRAQI FREEDOM. The HIANG also participated in numerous exercises, one of the largest beingExercise COPE TIGER, a multilateral exercise held in Thailand. Ten F-15s, two KC-135s, two C-17s andapproximately 250 personnel deployed over a three-week period to participate in the Thailand exercise,which involved three countries and three services.

State Civil Defense had its hands full early this fiscal year with earthquakes off the island of Hawaiiand the threat of Hurricane Flossie. It also hosted another very successful hurricane Exercise MAKANIPAHILI and the Asia-Pacific Homeland Security Summit, which continues to feature top governmentleaders, senior business executives, and security, technology and anti-terrorism experts who discusshighly-sensitive issues such as the changing Asia-Pacific region and terrorism.

The Office of Veterans Services continues to be the State’s advocate for veterans and their families.They will be able to increase their reach after receiving a check from the Veterans Administration for$735,000 for the construction of the Big Island of Hawaii’s West Hawaii Veterans Cemetery.

The Youth CHalleNGe Academy is 12 years old and graduated a combined 200 cadets in its 26th and27th classes this year. It continues to be the state’s premier program for assisting at-risk youth, helpingmore than 2,000 teens to become productive citizens.

MissionThe 93rd Civil Support Team,

Weapons of Mass Destruction is thestate’s premier rapid-response unitdesigned to support civil authorities at adomestic Chemical, Biological,Radiological, Nuclear and or Explosiveincident site by identifying agents/substances, assessing current andprojected consequences, providingadvice on response measures andassisting with requests for additionalsupport. The CST is a state asset underoperational control of the adjutantgeneral.

Highlights and significant eventsThe year was filled with two real-

world missions and numerous trainingopportunities throughout the state andin West Virginia. The team worked with,and trained first responders on thefederal, state and county level, bothmilitary and civilian, on radiological,chemical and biological incidents, aswell as the Avian Bird Flu Pandemic.Flu participants included personnel andorganizations from the FBI, U.S. CoastGuard, Scotland Yard, Civil Defense,Department of Health, police and firedepartments, and local hospitals.

In March, the CST was tasked by theadjutant general to perform aradiological-survey mission on a 30-mileroad to search for depleted uranium atthe U.S. Army Pacific’s PohakuloaTraining Area on the Big Island ofHawaii. Radiation readings werenegative.

In June, the 93rd responded to anincident at the Ocean Fresh Seafood inPearl City, after receiving a request forassistance from the Honolulu PoliceDepartment. Compressed gas cylinders,which contained carbon dioxide and otherharmful chemicals, were damaged becauseof a fire. Four cylinders had explodedduring the fire, with 11 cylindersremaining in various states of damage,creating a threat to the community, theplaza and nearby neighborhoods. After theunified command was established, plumemodels were produced to predict thepotential spread of contamination andprovided first responders withrecommendations on evacuations,shelters-in-place, and incident controlpoint locations. The air was monitoredfrom locations near and downwind fromthe hotzone. The 11 carbon monoxidecylinders were released over a two-dayperiod with no casualties.

Fourteen deployments occurred duringthe past year.

Of particular note is the wing’stremendous organic capability in movingits own combat power and personnel asdemonstrated during Exercise COPETIGER ‘07 in Thailand. Ten F-15s, twoKC-135s, two C-17s and 250 personneldeployed over a three-week period inthis multilateral exercise involvingthree countries (U.S., Thailand andSingapore) and three services (U.S. AirForce, Navy and Marine Corps).

The 154th Medical Group’s annualtraining event to Robert C. ByrdTraining Center, in West Virginia,provided the hazardous materialstraining and certification of the medicalcomponent of the CERF-P mission, as wellas fulfilling many of the recurringmedical training requirements. Thetraining culminated with a masscasualty exercise incorporating the localWest Virginia Youth Challenge Cadetsas simulated casualties.

Three major inspections: The wingsuccessfully completed three majorinspections to include the NationalGuard Bureau Maintenance Group’sMaintenance Standardization andEvaluation Program, Wing safety’s NGBEnvironmental, Safety, OccupationalHealth, Compliance Assessment andManagement Program, Pacific AirForce’s Inspector General Alert ForceEvaluation, and the PACAF/IG UnitCompliance Inspection.

MissionPrepares for and respond to disasters

and emergencies.

PersonnelSeventy-two full-time and part-time

employees make up the staff of StateCivil Defense. In the event of a disaster,a special recovery branch is organized toprocess damage repair claims. Duringemergencies, staffing may be augmentedby government liaison and volunteeragency support. Hawaii’s director of SCDis Maj. Gen. Robert G. F. Lee, theadjutant general. Edward T. Teixeira,the vice director of SCD, oversees theday-to-day operations and assumes theresponsibilities of the director when thedirector is absent.

OrganizationThe civil defense system is authorized

by Chapters 127 and 128 of the HawaiiRevised Statutes and provides the legalframework for a comprehensive systemat the state and county governmentlevels. SCD serves as the office of recordfor all major disasters impacting theState of Hawaii. SCD is organized into

four branches: Training, Education, andInformation; Plans and Operations;Telecommunications; and DisasterAssistance. These branches aresupported by an administrative sectionand a special planning staff.

The Department of Defense alsomaintains the State Major DisasterFund, authorized under Chapter 127-11,HRS. The fund provides $2 million peryear for disasters and an additional $2million to match federal funds followinga presidential disaster declaration. Thisspecial fund helps to pay for repairs topublic facilities and infrastructure.

Highlights and significant eventsFiscal year 2007 saw many changes for

SCD, including the assumption of StateWarning Point duties and functionsperformed for more than three decadesby the Honolulu Police Department. TheState Warning Point section is manned24/7 by SCD staff and monitors theNational Warning System whichconnects over 2,600 agencies andprovides emergency responders and thepublic with information on terroristattacks and natural hazards like

Three major incidents or disastersthat SCD responded to in FY 2007 werethe Maalaea Fire on Maui in September2006, Kula Forest Reserve Fire inJanuary 2007, and the Kiholo BayEarthquake, which impacted the islandson Oct. 15, 2006. The Kiholo BayEarthquake caused significant damageto homes, businesses, and to criticalinfrastructure on the Big Island anddamage to the Piilani Highway along thesouth Maui coastline from Kaupo toKipahulu. Tremors from the earthquakealso caused an island-wide power outageon Oahu that resulted in a loss of mediacommunication for much of the state. Toaddress this issue and its impact oncommunities, businesses andgovernment, Gov. Linda Lingle launchedthe Governor’s ComprehensiveCommunications Review Committee withmembers from government agencies andthe private sector including print,television and broadcast media.

Steps undertaken by SCD to improveemergency communications included anupdate of the Hawaii Emergency AlertSystem Plan, installation of dedicatedphone lines to civil defense primarybroadcast stations and an increasedfocus on special needs communicationsresources.

The tsunami exercise wasone of the annual exercises SCDsponsored to test and maintainoperational readiness. Other exercisesconducted included the annualstatewide hurricane Exercise MAKANIPAHILI in May, Exercise A KELE (animprovised nuclear device exercisesimulating an attack at HonoluluHarbor) in August; and a local Tsunamicommand post exercise in October.

In addition to the interagencyexercises conducted by SCD, aCommunity Response Exercise focusingon an avian influenza scenario was heldat the 4th Annual Asia-Pacific HomelandSecurity Summit and Exposition on Oct.31, 2006. The Avian Influenza CRE was

one of the best-attended sessions at thesummit, which brought together 356individuals from across the U.S.,Singapore, Philippines, Canada, Japan,Taiwan, Great Britain and NorthernIreland, Marshall Islands, Korea and theDominican Republic.

In the spirit of internationalcooperation, SCD hosted several foreigndelegations at the BirkheimerEmergency Operating Center. Militaryand civilian delegations from France,Indonesia, Japan, Republic of Korea andPhilippines came to Birkhimerthroughout the year to learn about SCD’srole as the Emergency Management andHomeland Security Agency for the Stateof Hawaii.

In its role as the State HomelandSecurity Agency, SCD plays an importantrole in administering U.S. HomelandSecurity Grants to state, county, andprivate agencies. For FY 2007, SCD

Office of Veterans Services

Highlights and significant eventsThe Oahu OVS has facilities adjacent

to the Veterans Affairs office. The officesare located in the E-Wing at the TriplerArmy Medical Center. Due to the closeproximity to the VA benefits section anda relatively short distance from theSpark M. Matsunaga Out-Patient Clinicand the Center for Aging, OVS continuesto experience a significant increase inwalk-in traffic. The closeness of theregional office has resulted in a strongerrelationship with the benefits staff andhas increased the ability of counselors toaccess records of veterans served by theOVS.

The 2006 Census projections estimatethat the number of veterans in Hawaiiby county, is 102,396.

Number and percent of veterans bycounty: 2006 Census estimatesCounty of 2006 PercentHonolulu 72,584 71%Kauai 5,405 5%Maui 10,441 10%Hawaii 13,966 14%Total 102,396 100%

Some of the major projects OVS haspartnered and participated in involvebenefits briefings to all deployed troopsand their families. Troops sent to Iraqand Afghanistan were suppliednecessary information and assured agrateful nation and state would provideresources upon their return.

The State continued to providePolyguard Burial vaults for all retirees,veterans and active duty burials in theHSVC. The goal is to require burial vaultsfor all burials in all veteran’s cemeteries.This is to help stabilize the ground anddecrease the number of settlinggravesites in the future.

The state continued to purchasescreened fill dirt to complete burials inthe HSVC. This, along with the burialvaults and improvements in the burialprocess, will further help to decreasethe settling of gravesites.

have increased this past year.Training and implementation of the

Affirmative Procurement Plan hasbeen instituted as well as significantclean-up projects throughout the state.Continual monitoring has beenprogrammed to sustain and enhancethe compliance level. The integrationof new pollution prevention methodsand training is ongoing. Whileremediation of one training site hasbeen completed, the process continueson the balance of the sites.

The environmental office continuesto implement policies and practicesthat safeguard the environment andquality of life. The strategy is tosustain resources (land, air and water)to secure the future.

While continuing previous goals, theoffice will enhance training ofSoldiers, members of the Departmentof Defense and neighbors byintegrating sustainability into allactivities using the ISO 14001,(Environmental ManagementSystems).

Foster an ethic that takes us beyondenvironmental compliance tosustainability.

Strengthen operations by employingsustainable practices such as waterconservation, and fuel and energyefficiency.

Train land management bymaintaining the resiliency andbuffering needed to protect theenvironment and surroundingcommunities from impacts of training.

Continue to favor environmentally-sustainable products to reduce theintroduction of pollutants,sustain our natural resources forSoldiers, their families, workforce andour neighbors. Celebrate heritagethrough responsible management ofcultural resources. Seize uponopportunities brought about bytechnological advancements.

Continue to seek tools and solutionsthat improve efficiency and reducecost while protecting our environment.

HighlightsThe HIARNG Environmental section

spearheaded the Diamond Head SoilRemediation Project. Approximately,30,000 tons of soil in the two firingranges have been collected andprocessed to wash out the previouslead particles. The soil was thenreturned to its point of origin andnative vegetation has been replantedover the soil. The lead has beencollected and recycled for theQualitative Recycling Program. Forthis project, the Environmental sectionhas been chosen as a candidate for theNational Installation Award by theNational Guard Bureau.

Management of a CongressionalProject called Enviance. Efforts havebeen making headway with anEnvironmental Database Solution thatwill enable the Guard to keep bettertrack of its Environmental Activitiesthroughout the Hawaii Guard. Theefforts on this project have showcasedHIARNG; and the model will, mostlikely, be used Army-wide.

Another notable undertaking, whichis still being worked on, is anotherCongressional project in which weworked in conjunction with the G-3,the Operational Range AssessmentProgram. This program was designedto clear the ranges nationwide fromany environmental receptors. Inaddition, the ranges for closure havebeen identified; and the militarymunitions response program is whatwill be used for the correct process ofrange closures. With this information,Congress will now be able to track therange receptors and correct courses ofaction for all range programsthroughout the nation.
