Air Force Specific

Hickam Field stands as the strategic epicenter of airpower in the Pacific. It is the headquarters of Pacific Air Forces, or PACAF, which is the Air Force Major Command responsible for the air component within the Indo-Pacific. PACAF’s mission, in coordination with other components, allies and partners, is to provide USPACOM with continuous and unrivaled air, space and cyberspace capabilities to ensure regional stability and security. Fulfilling this mandate, the 15th Wing provides the leadership, operations and support for this premier power projection platform — operating the joint airfield; sustaining over 12,000 airmen; and employing F-22s, C-37s and C-17s. Working hand in hand with a formidable Joint and Total Force team, they provide the rapid projection, sustainment and joint integration of combat-ready airpower to defend the homeland, deter aggression and stand ready to prevail across the spectrum of conflict alongside our allies and partners.

Hawaii is rabies-free. Hawaii's quarantine law is designed to protect residents and pets from potentially serious health problems associated with the introduction and spread of rabies. This law states that dogs and cats meeting specific pre- and post-arrival requirements may qualify for a Five-Day-or-Less Quarantine Program, which has a provision for direct release at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport after inspection. See the State of Hawaii Animal Industry Division's Checklist For Five-Day-or-Less Program for details.

Hawaii has regulations for pet importation. These must be followed in order to be authorized a direct release of a pet dog or cat from the DKI Airport if all pre-arrival requirements are completed correctly and all required paperwork and payments are submitted 10 days or more prior to arrival. Owners are encouraged to submit documents through the online portal.

The e-mail address for the Animal Quarantine Station is rabiesfree@hawaii.gov or hdoa.info@hawaii.gov. Their telephone number is 808-483-7151.

Some non-domestic animals are allowed into the state while others are not. If you wish to bring a pet other than a dog or cat, it is highly suggested you contact the Plant Quarantine Non-Domestic and Microorganism Office for more information. You may call with questions at 808-832-0566 or 808-837-8413.
