Navy Region Hawaii oversees the U.S. Navy's largest and most strategic island base in the Pacific. The Navy region extends over 23,000 acres of land and water on Oahu and Kauai and serves as the host for the headquarters of seven major Navy commands, including the Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet.

Under the command of PACFLT, Commander, Navy Region (COMNAVREG) Hawaii is the regional coordinator for all shore-based naval personnel and shore activities located in Hawaii as well as Midway Island, Kure Island and the islands of Wake, Johnston, Palmyhra and Kingman Reef. This overall responsibility involves a land and water area of some 59,516 acres.

The most important mission of COMNAVREG is coordinating the Navy's local support of the Pacific Fleet. This support involves port and housekeeping services for 29 surface ships and submarines homeported in Pearl Harbor, and more than 60 shore commands and activities.

These services extend to our transiting fleet units as well as many ships of friendly allied navies which rely on our support when they visit Pearl Harbor. During a major fleet exercise such as the Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC), the logistic support for more than 75 ships is coordinated by COMNAVREG in a team effort with local commands.

The key to a smooth transition is your sponsor, who in turn can help arrange your TLA accommodations, provide transportation from the airport, check you in to your new command and provide you with general information about the community and on-station facilities well in advance of your move. Ensure you contact your sponsor as soon as possible before leaving for Hawaii. If you do not receive a sponsor, visit https://staynavytools.bol.navy.mil/SAA/.

Other sources of information include your local Fleet and Family Support Center at your current command. Again, the official Navy Web site for Navy Region Hawaii is www.hawaii.navy.mil.
