US EditionArmy Secretary Wants to Move More Quickly on an Agreement for Hawaii Live-Fire Training Lands
HAWAII, JUL 23 – Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll urges faster lease renewal for Pohakuloa Training Area to maintain live-fire training critical for Indo-Pacific readiness amid rising regional tensions.
- On Tuesday at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll said he wants to move more quickly on an agreement, as the range is vital for training ground forces.
- Amid environmental concerns, the Hawai‘i Board of Land and Natural Resources rejected the final EIS, while Army commanders warned of deterrence risks in the Indo-Pacific.
- Spanning roughly 22,750 acres, the range sits on a rocky plateau about 6,200 feet above sea level between Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa.
- In response, the Hawai‘i County Council postponed the resolution to August 19th, giving Rebecca Villegas time to adjust the language and add citations.
- With other leases also in line for renewal, Daniel Driscoll said he wants to conclude negotiations in the coming months.
