Schofield Barracks Military Reservation, Wilikina Drive & Kunia Road, Wahiawa, Honolulu County, HI

Significance: Schofield Barracks maintains historic significance in the areas of military history and architecture. Schofield Barracks played a primary role in training troops for the Pacific Theater of Operations in World War II (WW II), and the Korean and Vietnam Conflicts. It is therefore associated with events that have made a significant contribution to broad patterns of history. Additionally, the core of the installation is associated with the physical development of a permanent Army post in the first decades after the U.S. acquisition of Hawaii. The historic buildings at Schofield embody the distinctive characteristics of several types, periods, and methods of construction. The primary period of significance is from 1908 through the 1940s. Significant dates in the history of Schofield Barracks include the selection of the post site and start of construction in 1908, the completion of the first permanent buildings in 1914, the formation of the Hawaiian Division (then the only complete division in the Army) at Schofield in 1921, and the 7 December 1941 attack on Oahu.
