The Pentagon has deployed nearly 700 personnel and 140 U.S. Coast Guard responders to assist in fighting the wildfires in Hawaii. The military is working alongside FEMA, the Hawaii National Guard, and other emergency personnel to combat the fires, provide aerial fire suppression, distribute supplies, and establish support facilities. The task force formed under Joint Task Force 5-0 has reached full operational capacity, and President Biden is expected to visit Hawaii next week. The wildfires have caused significant damage, with over 2,000 homes damaged or destroyed and over a hundred fatalities.
