Hawaii Air National Guard to cut personnel numbers

Hawaii’s Air National Guard will be impacted by military cutbacks happening nationwide.

There are about 2,500 Air National Guard members in Hawaii.

With the Air Force budget cuts, Hawaii will lose about 30 of those positions.

"We’re really going to have to take a look at how these cuts impact us in the long run. It’s a little bit early to talk about what kind of an impact it would have, but it’s something we need to look at," said Lt. Col. Chuck Anthony, from the Hawaii National Guard.

Nationwide, about 5,100 Air National Guard positions are being cut starting in the next fiscal year.
