This summer, military forces from 30 nations are gathering in Hawaii for Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2026, the world\u2019s largest maritime exercise. For its organizers, RIMPAC isn\u2019t just five weeks of trainings, drills, and live-fire exercises \u2014 it\u2019s an opportunity to enhance coordination and communication (what the military calls \u201cinteroperability\u201d), which they say is critical for military operations, humanitarian assistance, disaster response, and other contingencies. <\/p>\n

First held in 1971, the biennial RIMPAC includes 25,000 personnel, 40 surface ships, 5 submarines, and 140 aircraft. RIMPAC organizers say the exercise promotes regional stability and provides an economic boost for Hawaii.<\/p>\n

But for opponents, RIMPAC exemplifies a global order structured around militarism and regional domination. They say RIMPAC calls into question the true costs of an increasingly militarized Pacific where international cooperation and economic prosperity are predicated on the threat of military force and characterized by environmental degradation with overstated economic benefits. Critics say the exercise is an insult to Hawaiian culture, sovereignty, and society.<\/p>\n

A Nation Devoted to Peace<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Jonathan Kay Kamakawiwo\u2019ole Osorio, a professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii Manoa, told Truthout <\/em>that \u201cthe United States has this understanding of Pacific Islands and Hawaii as important to its ambitions in Asia.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re going to talk about RIMPAC \u2026 those exercises are all about \u2018how do we prepare for warfare that would be conducted most likely with a Eurasian enemy,\u2019 but would certainly involve these Pacific islands in one way or another.\u201d<\/p>\n

Referring to the formerly independent Hawaiian Kingdom prior to its by the U.S. in 1893, Osorio says RIMPAC has enveloped Hawaii \u201cdespite the fact that our nation, our Kingdom was devoted to peace, did not militarize, and saw our relationship with other countries in the world \u2026 as unquestionably peaceful and where diplomacy was the actual tool that we used to further our own interests.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pacific in Name, Global in Practice<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Most RIMPAC participants are Pacific or Asian nations, but this year\u2019s exercise also includes e<\/s>ight European countries. The Israeli navy is also participating for the fourth time. An Israeli military spokesperson declined to provide information about the number of personnel participating, the type of exercises it would join, or the equipment it would deploy. <\/p>\n

RIMPAC takes place on and below Hawaiian waters, on land, in the air, and in space and cyber domains with activities including anti-submarine warfare, mine clearance, explosive ordnance disposal, and amphibious raids. RIMPAC includes sinking exercises in which several countries coordinate to target, fire upon and sink decommissioned naval ships. RIMPAC also provides an opportunity to test new capabilities including unmanned systems and robotic surface vessel-fired missiles.<\/p>\n

This comes as all major military spending metrics are on the rise: Global military spending is up. Nuclear weapons spending is up. U.S. military spending is up, and the Trump administration is calling for a record-smashing military budget increase to $1.5 trillion for fiscal year 2027. A recent report by the Project on Government Oversight argues that the true cost of military spending is vastly underestimated.<\/p>\n

As a large-scale mobilization of military hardware crossed the Pacific Ocean to converge in Hawaii, Laurie Moore, executive director of the state\u2019s Military and Community Relations Office (MACRO), told Truthout<\/em> in an email, \u201cRIMPAC isn\u2019t just about ships and aircraft. It\u2019s also about relationships.\u201d She said Hawaii\u2019s unique location and diverse population makes it a \u201cnatural place to bring partners together.\u201d<\/p>\n

RIMPAC does allow the militaries of different nations to cooperate in activities like urban combat and sniper training. During the 2018 RIMPAC, Japan\u2019s Ground Self-Defense Force coordinated with the U.S. and Australia to fire HIMARS rockets in Japan\u2019s first such launch from U.S. territory.<\/p>\n

Moore said that \u201cHawaii\u2019s land and ocean resources are among its greatest assets, and their protection must remain a priority,\u201d adding, \u201cMACRO supports continued efforts to incorporate lessons learned and ensure that training activities are carried out responsibly and with respect for Hawaii\u2019s natural and cultural resources.\u201d That message was delivered to RIMPAC participants in a MACRO-produced video presentation.<\/p>\n

The U.S. military has faced increased scrutiny in Hawaii after a series of major fuel storage leaks contaminated residential drinking water in 2021. In May, the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), the Cost of War Project, and others published a report entitled The True Cost of the Military in Hawaii which analyzes the economic, environmental, strategic, and social impacts of military activities in Hawaii. The report examines what it calls \u201cthe myth of military environmental stewardship.\u201d <\/p>\n

Uneven Geographies <\/strong><\/h2>\n

In an interview with Truthout<\/em>, one of the authors of the IPS report, Laurel Mei-Singh, an assistant professor with the department of geography and environment at the University of Texas at Austin, said militarism reorders collective life according to the needs of the military. The report, which challenges commonly held beliefs about the military contribution to Hawaii\u2019s economy, asserts a litany of harmful outcomes and offers alternatives to military dependency, including a chapter on the public health impacts to communities living near military bases.<\/p>\n

Mei-Singh, who was born and raised on Oahu, says the military presence in Hawaii separates Native Hawaiians from ancestral lands and is associated with poor health outcomes in communities living near military bases. \u201cPeople on the Waianae Coast [west Oahu] and places like Pearl Harbor self-report poor or fair health at significantly higher rates than the rest of the island,\u201d Mei-Singh said. The chapter she co-authored examines pollution, access to resources, and public health in those highly militarized communities and the disparities even among militarized parts of Oahu.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are the obvious environmental impacts of RIMPAC \u2026 very much bound with societal impacts because people depend on the natural resources including the ocean resources,\u201d Mei-Singh said. \u201cWhile RIMPAC might bring some short-term economic activity to the islands, we need to consider the much more long-term costs that we outline very thoroughly in the report.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kyle Kajihiro, an assistant professor of ethnic studies at the University of Hawaii, also contributed to the IPS report. He told Truthout<\/em> that while RIMPAC is characterized as a form of strategic and economic security, it can also be seen as provocative to rival nations, specifically China. Kajihiro points to the concentration of U.S. military bases in Persian Gulf states which, instead of ensuring security, became targets in the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we think about potential for a war with China, all these places in the Pacific, including Hawaii, Guam, Okinawa, all potentially become targets in that conflict. We get used as the weapon against adversaries, but it also puts a bullseye on our back,\u201d said Kajihiro.<\/p>\n

Kajihiro sees a connection between RIMPAC and wars in other parts of the world, particularly the Middle East. He cites pro-peace groups who charge that RIMPAC normalizes relations with states accused of war crimes and human rights violations, pointing to RIMPAC participants Israel and Indonesia as examples.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the things that our report points out is that we\u2019ve been told that the enormous military presence benefits Hawaii economically and for security purposes \u2026 This is an attempt to look at a critical assessment of those costs that haven\u2019t been taken into account.\u201d<\/p>\n

Economic Injection<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Criticism of military activities in Hawaii can be a difficult position to take when so many residents and businesses depend on the military for their income, but the recent IPS report argues economic benefits are overstated and other costs are hidden. Organizations like MACRO and Hawaii\u2019s Chamber of Commerce see RIMPAC as an important economic driver.<\/p>\n

In an email to Truthout<\/em>, Jason Chung, vice president of the Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii\u2019s Military Affairs Council, praised RIMPAC\u2019s contribution to Hawaii\u2019s economy which he described as a \u201cmeaningful short-term economic injection for local businesses.\u201d <\/p>\n

The figure of $50 million injected into Hawaii\u2019s economy is frequently cited as an economic impact of RIMPAC, although that number is over a decade old and its source is unclear. Hawaii\u2019s Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism did not respond to a query about RIMPAC\u2019s economic benefit. <\/p>\n

Chung also acknowledged the legitimacy of RIMPAC critics\u2019 concerns about environmental stewardship and other community impacts and said there needs to be \u201ctransparency, accountability, mitigation, and sustained dialogue\u201d between the military and local officials and affected communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny large event (military or non-military) creates impacts that should be communicated and managed. RIMPAC organizers should continue to engage early with the state and community, explain what is occurring and why, and demonstrate how concerns are addressed,\u201d Chung said.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Navy Third Fleet and RIMPAC organizers did not respond to multiple requests for comment.<\/p>\n

Polluted Water, Air, and Land<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Speaking from the west side of Oahu, Sparky Rodrigues, a Native Hawaiian who served as a Navy Seabee during the Vietnam war, was strongly opposed to the militarized state of Hawaii and RIMPAC. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t benefit our community,\u201d Rodrigues said.<\/p>\n

From excessive aircraft noise to fallen ash generated by military activity, contamination and unexploded ordnances on land and in the ocean, Rodrigues told Truthout<\/em> that, \u201ctheir presence, their activity has been very abusive to our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRIMPAC is really the culmination of all these individual community impacts \u2026What is the cost to our community? We\u2019re getting all the exhaust. Every time they dump chaff [small aluminum-coated glass fibers used as a ] we\u2019re getting it in our community and we can\u2019t even see it but we\u2019re going to end up absorbing all of that. So, for me, \u2018No RIMPAC.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Growing a Different Future<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Also on west Oahu is Kukui Maunakea-Forth, founder and executive director of MA\u2018O Organic Farms, which covers around 500 acres in the Lualualei Valley. The farm is located next to a more than 9,000-acre naval complex and radio transmitting facility. MA\u2018O is focused on bolstering community farming, youth education, Indigenous agroforestry, and biocultural restoration. \u201cOur goal is to malama<\/em> (care for) all those lands,\u201d she told Truthout<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Speaking about land once farmed by Native Hawaiians where water is now diverted for fire control on military-occupied land, Maunakea-Forth said \u201cthe lack of care of those lands is concerning.\u201d She talked about the importance of building relationships, encouraging better land stewardship, and developing a Native Hawaiian work force with the skills to manage the land for \u201cwhen they do leave,\u201d referring to what she envisions will be the military\u2019s eventual departure.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing about RIMPAC is that it hurts our land. Anything that hurts our land, it hurts us,\u201d she said. Maunakea-Forth says MA\u2018O is working to bolster education and improve local food security. \u201cI think MA\u2018O doesn\u2019t have a specific position on all the things that are happening on our land without our consent. So maybe that\u2019s where I\u2019ll leave it because all of the things that have happened to our people have happened without our consent. We never left. We are still here and we never relinquished our ea<\/em> (sovereignty).\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong>There\u2019s an economy around RIMPAC that is so deep and on its own is probably exploitive and extractive and those things are antithetical to our values,\u201d Maunakea-Forth added.<\/p>\n

When she sees trucks driving onto the nearby military base, a facility she describes as \u201cliterally falling apart,\u201d she reflects that the community could be using that land to grow food and house people or to stimulate economic activity. <\/p>\n

She says the problem is not only RIMPAC. \u201cOur target is not just the military. It\u2019s about all misuse of aina <\/em>(land) and the resources that we depend on for life.\u201d<\/p>\n
