The Army today will dedicate the Battle Command Training Center at Schofield Barracks in honor of Army 1st Lt. Nainoa Hoe, a 1995 Kamehameha Schools graduate who was killed in 2005 in Iraq.
The $33 million, 90,000-square-foot training center opened in November 2005 and serves as a Pacific-area training center with communications, mission planning and simulators.
The 11:30 a.m. ceremony, which will include remarks from Hoe's father, Allen, is not open to the public.
Nainoa Hoe, 27, was assigned in 2004 to the 3rd Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment, a Stryker unit from Fort Lewis, Wash.
He was killed by a sniper in Mosul, Iraq, on Jan. 22, 2005, while leading his platoon.
