Army, Hawaii leaders make case against military downsizing in state
FORT SHAFTER, Hawaii — The Army is too important to Hawaii and Hawaii too vital to the Army to tolerate “worst-case” scenario troop cuts in the state, possible under sequestration in 2016.
The top Pacific Army commander, business leaders, legislators and even the newly elected Hawaii governor were in agreement on that simple equation Friday during an annual meeting of the Military Affairs Council of the Chamber of Commerce Hawaii.
The Army is in midst of finalizing force restructuring, with the original goal of reducing the number of active-duty soldiers to 490,000 by 2020.
