The U.S. Army has held a lease on lands at Pōhakuloa on the Big Island for decades. The public has one more day to comment on the Army’s draft environmental impact statement regarding its proposed plans to continue training at Pōhakuloa beyond 2029. Lt. Col. Kevin Cronin, garrison commander of Pōhakuloa Training Area, spoke to The Conversation about what is on the table.
