Urging The Governor To Create A Task Force On Military Partnership To Develop And Strengthen The Public-military Relationship In Hawaii.

Impact

If established, the proposed task force would consist of key state officials, including the Governor, legislative leaders, the Mayor of Honolulu, and the Commander of the United States Indo-Pacific Command. The task force's mission would include identifying ways in which the military's resources can be beneficial to the Hawaiian public. The discussions could touch on various community benefits, including access to water resources, youth sports facilities, housing options, and land for agricultural uses.

Summary

House Resolution 19 (HR19) urges the Governor of Hawaii to create a task force aimed at developing and strengthening the public-military relationship in the state. Hawaii hosts a significant military presence, with over 42,000 active duty personnel spread across various military reservations and training facilities, primarily on the island of Oahu. The bill highlights the need for better collaboration and understanding between military organizations and Hawaii's communities, particularly in the wake of issues such as the Red Hill fuel leaks and military ordnance training that have negatively impacted local relations.

Contention

Notably, HR19 emphasizes the importance of not just addressing past grievances but proactively preparing for future emergencies. It encourages fostering a relationship that supports mutual benefits between military operations and the civilian population. The resolution also implies that enhanced collaboration may lead to improved resource management and employment opportunities for residents, potentially addressing local concerns regarding land usage and military training activities.
