PEARL CITY, Hawaii – U.S. Army Command Sgt. Maj. Roger J. Goodwin, command sergeant major of the 103rd Troop Command, Hawaii Army National Guard, relinquished responsibility to Command Sgt. Maj. Paul H. Asato after years of leadership during a change of responsibility ceremony in Pearl City, Hawaii, Jan. 11, 2026.
“As the senior enlisted leader for the Hawaii Army National Guard’s second largest mission support command, consisting of thirteen subordinate units dispersed across the islands, Command Sergeant Major Goodwin’s leadership and mentorship enabled him to successfully lead such a functionally diverse organization with very significant differences in operational and readiness requirements,” said Col. Phoebe P. Inigo, commander of the 103rd Troop Command.
Aviation units make up more than half of the 103rd Troop Command’s subordinate organizations, where Goodwin oversaw more than 25 wildfire missions across Hawai‘i, prepared units for mobilizations and managed both engineering and aviation contributions to State Partnership Program exercises and operations abroad.
“Under his leadership, the 103rd Troop Command distinguished itself as the most activated unit in the Hawaii Army National Guard,” Inigo said. “Successfully executing three federal missions, more than 30 National Guard Civil Support missions, and multiple engagements worldwide in support of national security objectives.”
