The Hawaii 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 are trained to respond to emergencies, such as natural disasters, and can be called upon for federal missions. In addition to their emergency response duties, the Hawaii National Guard participates in community events and supports local initiatives. They also engage in training exercises to maintain readiness for various missions, ensuring they can effectively serve their state and country when needed.
