Army seeking community reactions to potential cuts

The Army is inviting community feedback on potential cuts in the number of personnel and family members based in Hawaii.

Two “listening sessions” are currently scheduled.

January 27, 6:30-9 p.m., Hale Koa Hotel, DeRussy Hall.

January 28, 6:30-9 p.m., Leilehua High School Cafeteria.

According to the meeting announcement:

The Army wants to know what impacts a potential reduction of Soldiers, family members, and civilian employees in Hawaii would have on you or your organization.

The public is invited to attend Army-hosted community listening sessions, regarding proposed Army personnel reductions in Hawaii, to provide input and learn more. The Army will explain the process that will be used to reach stationing decisions.
No decisions have been made yet.

    Thanks for the heads up!

    The old story is that everyone has a love-hate relationship with the military. The new reality is that the military is downsizing. Our local politicians gush about the “pivot to Asia”, but everything points away from a new military buildup in Hawaii. Fact is, it’s been a while since the military wanted to be here. There were forced here by our top Congressman.
