Road Trip: Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii

Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam is a United States military facility adjacent to Honolulu, Hawaii. It is an amalgamation of the former United States Air Force Hickam Air Force Base and the United States Navy Naval Base Pearl Harbor, which were merged in 2010.

Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam is part of Navy Region Hawaii and provides Navy and joint operations Base Operating Support that is capabilities-based and integrated.

As part of Pacific Air Forces, the United States Air Force 15th Wing provides strategic and tactical airlift capability to PACAF and Air Mobility Command operating the C-17 Globemaster III. It also enhances PACAF's power and reach operating the F-22 Raptor.
 

 

Naval Station Pearl Harbor provides berthing and shore side support to surface ships and submarines, as well as maintenance and training. Pearl Harbor can accommodate the largest ships in the fleet, to include dry dock services, and is now home to over 160 commands. Housing, personnel, and family support are also provided and are an integral part of the shore side activities, which encompasses both permanent and transient personnel.

Because Pearl Harbor is the only intermediate maintenance facility for submarines in the Middle Pacific, it serves as host to a large number of visiting submariners.

The Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area Master Station, Pacific, (NCTAMS PAC), Wahiawa, Hawaii is the world's largest communication station. The headquarters site of this shore command is located in the central section of the island of Oahu, approximately three miles north of Wahiawa.
 

Hickam Air Force Base was named in honor of aviation pioneer Lt Col Horace Meek Hickam. It is under the jurisdiction of Pacific Air Forces (PACAF), which is headquartered on the base.

Hickam remains the launch point of strategic air mobility and operational missions in support of the Global War on Terrorism as well as special air missions in support of the Commander, U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM) and Commander, Pacific Air Forces (PACAF).

Hickam is home to the 15th Wing (15 WG) and 67 partner units including Headquarters, United States Pacific Air Forces (PACAF), Headquarters - Hawaii Air National Guard and the 154th Wing (154 WG) of the Hawaii Air National Guard. The Air Mobility Command's 515th Air Mobility Operations Wing (515 AMOW) provides tactical and strategic airlift within the Pacific region.

At Pearl Harbor-Hickam the 15th Airlift Wing retains essentially unchanged missions for the 15th AW operations, maintenance and medical groups -- along with its core mission functions of Airfield Operations and Explosive Ordnance Disposal. Also unaffected due to the merge were the many other supported units and tenants on the joint base -- Pacific Air Forces, Air Mobility Command, 13th Air Force and our Total Force partners in the Hawaii Air National Guard.

Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor on historic Ford Island occupies World War II-era hangars that still bear the scars of our nation's first aviation battlefield. It's the newest attraction among the Pearl Harbor Historic Sites and a must visit for aviation and history enthusiasts.

Ford Island, now a National Historic Landmark, is quiet today but it still shows the scars of war. In developing the master plan in the 1990s, the Navy consulted with the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the Historic Hawaii Foundation.

The Navy agreed to protect several historic buildings and nearby grounds. However, preserving these artifacts is outside the Navy's primary mission, so an innovative method for adaptive reuse and preservation was required.

Perhaps serendipitously, a group of concerned Hawaii citizens stepped forward with a solution and a plan to create a world class aviation museum in the historic hangars that survived the attack that initiated the US effort in World War II.

Good morning, Meg ((HUGS))

What kind did you get yourself?

Looks like the computer gremlins are working overtime. Had to hand my laptop over to a computer repair guy (although I can’t blame gremlins for this ~ I dropped it on one corner). Hope insurance will say “go buy a new one, here’s our cut.” LOL

[beachn4fun]

Good morning, dear ((HUGS))

Did you get your yard project done yesterday?

Enjoying the break in the weather?

[MEG33]

((((HUGS)))

It’s a Dell..Had an HP..This one has MUCH more storage space. Mine just would not turn on..though it tried..I had had problems for about a week. I was advised it was better to buy new than repair.

[beachn4fun]

G’day SkyDancer

LOL on the map. I always wondered how it looked from down there.

Nice one with Home Security. Best kind. Looks like the one on the far right wasn’t too happy about it.

[luvie]

Lookin’ good so far! :)

Happy Tuesday, Megs! (((hugs)))

[beachn4fun]

Good luck with the Dell. Customer service is not local

We had a Dell for several years without major problems except the CD drawer. The last one we got was an HP CPU from WalMart, which came with a keyboard. The little inexpensive monitor I got years and years ago still works like a champ.

Me, I’m an Apple girl. So mine has to be a MacBook. Never had to deal with customer service so I don’t know how good they are...or not.

[luvie]

Gooood Mornin', Early Birds!
Hope this Terrific Tuesday finds you up 'n' at 'em!
I'm off again but got up toooo early! :)
Got some rain yesterday (ok, just 2/10ths of an inch)
and it's a bit cooler this morning. Lovely!
((((hugs))))

[E.G.C.]

WOW!!!!! I think we're just about headed for another heatwave too.

Well, not much is going on. Bo and I have been doing some lake time the last few days.

Sure be glad when we get some rain though.

[MEG33]

I have a young man who vacuums, mops and works some on computers..He has Dells and set mine up..He is the one who likes Dell..and I thought as he can do minor repairs..why not?
Thanks, LUV
;o)

[beachn4fun]

and I thought as he can do minor repairs..why not?
