HARNG Hawaii

The Hawaii Army National Guard (HIARNG) traces its origins to the late 19th century, with formal organization as the National Guard of Hawaii in 1893 following the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy. After Hawaii became a U.S. territory in 1898, the HIARNG was incorporated into the National Guard system and has since served in major conflicts such as World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Global War on Terrorism. Throughout its history, the HIARNG has played a vital role in both federal and state missions, including disaster response, homeland security, and overseas deployments. Today, the HIARNG continues to support both the state of Hawaii and the United States through its commitment to readiness and service.
