About the 299th Cavalry Regiment
The 299th Cavalry Regiment, formerly the 299th Infantry Regiment, is a unit of the Hawaii Army National Guard with roots dating to 1923, established from the old 2nd Hawaiian Infantry Regiment. Nicknamed "The Koa Squadron," the regiment served with distinction during World War II as part of the 24th Infantry Division, carrying the fighting spirit of Hawaii's soldiers into the Pacific theater and beyond. Today the regiment continues its proud legacy as part of the HIARNG, honoring a lineage of service that spans more than a century.
From the islands to wherever the mission leads — the Koa Squadron answers the call.
