National Guard of Hawaii

It was a military branch intended to deal with internal conflict in Hawaii.

After the overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy the Provisional Government of Hawaii was established on January 17, 1893.

On January 27, 1893, a military was formed and put under the command of Colonel John Soper.

The national guard companies were: the A Company made up of ethnic German volunteers, commanded by Charles W. Zeigler;[1] B Company made up of members of the Honolulu Rifles, commanded by Hugh Gunn; and C Company made up of ethnic Portuguese volunteers, commanded by Joseph M. Camara.

After Hawaii was annexed becoming the Territory of Hawaii in 1898 the companies entered the Army National Guard system and became part of the Hawaii Army National Guard.
