The U.S. military has completed draining millions of gallons of fuel from an underground tank complex at Red Hill in Hawaii, which had contaminated Pearl Harbor's drinking water and affected 6,000 people in 2021. The Pentagon has transferred authority of Red Hill to the Navy for safe closure, and a closure task force has started redistributing fuel to enhance safety in the Pacific region.
