    SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii — Representatives from U.S. Army Garrison Hawaii and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers participate in a ribbon-cutting and Maile ceremony for a new water tank, April 17, 2025. The new concrete tank replaces the old decommissioned steel tank that was out of service for extended period of time, will support the needs of 35,000 soldiers and their families.
    Highlights include acknowledgments of the project's completion, actions taken during a previous water crisis, and the significance of the water infrastructure improvements. Key speakers include Col. Rachel Sullivan and Lt. Col. Adrian Biggerstaff, who both expressed gratitude to the engineers, plumbers, and other essential workers involved. Additionally, Maj. (CH) Kim performed an invocation, and Kahu Kordell Kekoa led a traditional Hawaiian blessing and untying of the lei ceremony, emphasizing the cultural and practical importance of water.
