U.S. Army Breaks Ground On Wheeler Army Airfield Facility
Army leaders from U.S. Army Garrison Hawai‘i, 25th Combat Aviation Bri- gade and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers held a groundbreaking ceremony Jan. 20 at Wheeler Army Airfield in Central O‘ahu for a multi-year aviation maintenance project.
tenance facility is expect- ed to take three years to finish. It will provide the 25th Infantry Division’s, Combat Aviation Brigade, with a modern mainte- nance site.
The project was award- ed to Honolulu-based com- pany Hensel Phelps. In ad- dition, it will be managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers located at Fort Shafter.
It is designed to replace aging 90-year old World War II-era facilities.
It will feature with lead- ing-edge technology, high- speed connectivity and ample space to support pilots, crews and their air- craft during their missions at home and abroad.
The new hangar is the first of three maintenance structures that will be built to support the Army’s Avi- ation Brigade.
“For 90 years, these han- gars have truly supported the Army well. Now, we look to the future, and this hangar will house the fu- ture generation of Army aircraft and aviators,” states Col. Daniel Misi- goy, U.S. Army Garrison Hawai‘i commander.
“Serving our nation here in the most conse- quential region and at one of the most consequential times in our nation’s his- tory, our future Army avia- tors will train on and main- tain Army aircraft that they will fly alongside our part- ner nations across the Pa- cific,” states Misigoy.
