ISLAND RESOURCE GUIDE

KWAJALEIN ATOLLDILOGCAP

21Kwajalein Atoll lies 2,100 miles southwest of Honolulu and is part of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) in the West Central Pacific Ocean. Approximately 50 miles North from Kwajalein Island is Roi-Namur, 75 miles northwest from Kwajalein is Ebadon, and three miles north is Ebeye.

Kwajalein is one day ahead of Hawaii and the continental United States due to it being West of the international dateline. As a result of the time difference, and in an effort to correspond to the work week in the States, the work week on Kwajalein and Roi-Namur is Tuesday - Saturday.

U.S. Army Garrison-Kwajalein Atoll, or USAG-KA, is home to the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site. The USAG-KA Commander is responsible for Kwajalein and Roi-Namur’s more than 1,250 residents, which are comprised of military personnel, Army civilians, contractor employees, and family members. The use of the Kwajalein Atoll as a U.S. military facility is made possible through a Compact of Free Association with the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI).

USAG-KA is truly a small town that includes all the necessities for its employees and family members, such as medical and dental care, religious services, K-12 schools, grocery store, AAFES, housing, recreational activities, dining services, newspaper, AFN radio and TV, as well as air and sea transportation.

In the islands, we enjoy warm, sunny days, palm trees swaying in the trade winds, blue water, and white beaches. At the same time, we co-exist with state-of-the-art radars, telemetry and optical tracking systems, communications systems, and instrumentation.

As a resident of Kwajalein or Roi-Namur, you will have a unique opportunity to become acquainted with the Marshallese people and their culture. Three miles north of Kwajalein Island is the island of Ebeye, home to approximately 12,000 Marshallese nationals. As you associate with Marshallese workers and familiarize yourself with Ebeye, you will learn the people are typically friendly and cheerful. You’ll be able to appreciate their handicrafts and culture and you may decide to learn the Marshallese language.

We hope that you enjoy all that there is to experience here on Kwajalein and Roi-Namur.

KWAJALEIN ATOLL

543 6Kwajalein is an isolated military installation that has a community of both families and unaccompanied personnel residing on the island. There are also approximately 1,000 Marshallese that are employed by the United States Army Kwajalein Atoll / Reagan Test Site as military contractors.

The Reagan Test Site (RTS) supports the development, test, and evaluation of ballistic missile defense systems, strategic systems, and system research and development. RTS operates as an activity of the Department of Defense (DoD). In addition, the site supports NASA space identification missions.

There are no private vehicles allowed within the atoll. As a result, all residents of Kwajalein/Roi-Namur use bicycles as the primary form of transportation. While Kwajalein is the largest island within the atoll, it is only three and a half miles long and a half mile wide, making travel by bicycle extremely convenient.

The Kwajalein community generally affords children a great deal of freedom. However, freedom implies responsibility. There is a 10:00p weekday curfew and midnight weekend curfew for residents 18 and younger. After children graduate, they must leave the island NLT 1 October.

Most houses are concrete construction with cement-block interior walls, single bath with a small tub/shower combination, and have two or three bedrooms. All two-bedroom houses are a two-story townhouse type structure. Some three-bedroom units are single-story and some are two-story. Amenities vary, but all houses are equipped with refrigerators, electric ranges, washers, and dryers. Some units have mini-blinds, carpeting, a dishwasher, and a garbage disposal.

EDUCATION

Kwajalein schools are highly academic, with strong emphasis on basic skills at the elementary level and on college and career readiness at the secondary school. Both George Seitz Elementary School and Kwajalein Junior/Senior High School are accredited by the North Central Association/Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA/CASI). School is in session 180 days a year from late-August to early June. Classes and CYS operate Tuesday through Saturday. Students have an hour for lunch and all students (except Ri-Katak students) and teachers go home for lunch.

All children from age 6 to 18 must attend school unless they hold a valid certificate of graduation or are attending a home-school program approved in advance by the Kwajalein School Administrator.

Students have the opportunity to become involved in a comprehensive community athletic program, as well as a school intramural program. A full program of music instruction, both choral and instrumental, is also offered. Students generally buy or rent their own musical instruments, although some are available through the schools. Private music lessons can be arranged.

Due to resource limitations, Kwajalein schools cannot provide formal programs or services for students who have more than mild learning disabilities or serious deficits in speech, reading, or language development. Prior approval for entry into the Kwajalein School System is required by the Kwajalein School Administrator.

Student dependents reaching the age of 19 are not eligible to remain on dependent status in Kwajalein. These dependents may be authorized to reside on island via an "Exception to Policy" for a specific length of time and purpose, i.e. to finish high school. All other student dependents reaching the age of 19 must leave Kwajalein via the Permanent Change of Station (PCS) process or obtain a sponsored contract position with one of the on-island employers to remain a resident on the island. The status change will not affect the eligibility to return as an on-island visitor.

The Kwajalein School System develops productive, successful, and responsible students committed to academic excellence and lifelong learning.

Families may choose to home-school their children, but prior approval from the Kwajalein School Administrator must be received first. A notice of intent must be submitted by the parents to the Kwajalein School Administrator, it is at that time that the Kwajalein School System will provide parents with a copy of progress reporting requirements.

Once permission has been received, home-schooled students may still participate at the school in subjects such as music, band, art, physical education, and computers, and they may use library resources.

HOME-SCHOOLING

All students must submit proof of immunizations in adherence with standard vaccination schedules in order to enroll in Kwajalein schools. In addition, all students must meet medical clearance requirements necessary for travel to the Kwajalein Atoll.

For additional information regarding vaccinations, please visit the respective Kwajalein school websites.

MEDICAL SERVICESKwajalein Hospital is a 12 bed inpatient care hospital employing U.S. licensed and certified doctors, nurses and technicians. The hospital is equipped to provide general medical inpatient and outpatient care, emergency treatment, pre-natal care, and some general surgery. Ancillary services include medical imaging, physical therapy, clinical laboratory, pharmacy, and occupational health.

DENTAL SERVICESDental services include emergency relief of pain, examination and diagnosis, dental X-ray, restorative treatment, prosthetic treatment, crowns, bridgework, limited cosmetic treatment, and limited endodontic/periodontal services. The clinic is staffed with full-time U.S. licensed dentists, dental hygienists, and dental assistants. Orthodontic services are not available.

The Medical and Dental Services Departments are responsible for providing health care to the Kwajalein community. The Fire Department maintains an ambulance service that is staffed by qualified emergency medical technicians. The Health services at Kwajalein are only intended to deal with emergencies and routine care of residents, there are no provisions made for highly specialized treatment. Serious medical problems should be addressed and resolved before moving to Kwajalein. The hospital handles pre-natal care, but all pregnant women must leave the island to deliver by their 32nd week of pregnancy.

Residents should understand that the scope of services at Kwajalein is limited despite the presence of well-qualified professional staff and services that correspond to a well-run community hospital in the United States. Certain acute conditions may arise that are beyond the capabilities of local personnel, resources, and facilities.

Emergency medical evacuation to Honolulu medical facilities may entail delays from 24 to 48 hours. Residents should be in good health physically and psychologically, requiring regular off-island specialist care no more than once annually. Such “regular off-island specialist care” would generally be associated with the employee’s vacation or business leave.

People who develop medical problems requiring special diagnostic or therapeutic treatment may be referred by a staff physician to specialists in Honolulu. E-mail consultations and video teleconferencing with Tripler Army Medical Center, Honolulu, or other medical specialists, allows access to specialists for patients at Kwajalein who require supplementary evaluation. USAG-KA guidelines limit formal referral status/benefits to patients with problems that may result in significant complications if specialty consultation is delayed longer than a few weeks.HEA
