"I am honored and humbled to be selected by Governor Green and Brig. Gen. Logan as the next DAG and look forward to serving under their leadership," said Mallory.

"I will bring a passion for service to the position - to serve our state and the soldiers and airmen of the Hawaiʻi National Guard," said Mallory. "I'm also looking forward to working with the state legislature on issues affecting our state employees, our guard members, their readiness, and their families."
