Department of Defense

The State of Hawai’i Department of Defense welcomes the opportunity to connect our communities with the mission and capabilities of the Hawai’i Army and Air National Guard. As a community-based organization, the Hawaii National Guard supports and participates in events throughout the State of Hawai’i to benefit our citizens and give them insight into their National Guard. All efforts will be made to support legal requests for assistance, however explicit regulatory guidance specifies the type and timing of the support that we can provide. All requests are also subject to various State and Federal ethics rules and regulations and must be properly vetted prior to approval.

Timeline
All requests must be received 90 days prior to the event date. Processing takes 25 – 45 days depending on the complexity of the request.

After 90 days, the request must be accompanied by a Letter of Lateness addressed to The Adjutant General, Hawaii National Guard. The letter must clearly articulate why the request is late and the inability to move the event date and how future requests will be made on time.
