Hawaii. Hawaii taxes a Hawaii domiciliary's active-duty pay. Its one military-pay exclusion is for reserve-component and Hawaii National Guard pay, not active duty. Hawaii exempts military pay for members domiciled in another state.
SCRA. Under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act your military pay is taxed by the state you are domiciled in, not by the one your duty station sits in. Being assigned to an installation in Hawaii does not by itself change which state may tax you, and it does not create a filing obligation where you are stationed.
TRICARE West. Care at all 6 installations in Hawaii falls under the TRICARE West region, administered by TriWest Healthcare Alliance — enrollment and claims run through 888-TRIWEST (874-9378).
