The Hawaiian National Guard is a reserve military force that serves both the state of Hawaii and the United States. It consists of two main components: the Hawaii Army National Guard and the Hawaii Air National Guard. Members of the Guard can be called upon for state emergencies, such as natural disasters, as well as federal missions. The Hawaiian National Guard plays a vital role in community support and disaster response. It also provides training and development opportunities for its members, helping them gain valuable skills that can be used in civilian careers. The Guard is an essential part of Hawaii's emergency preparedness and national defense.
