Episode 5: PMRF & Kauai: Partners in Paradise with CAPT Brett Stevenson
In this special episode of What’s Good Kauaii?, we sit down with Captain Brett Stevenson, Commanding Officer of the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF), to explore how one of the world's most advanced military test ranges is also a deeply rooted part of the Kauai community.
From its impact on the local economy to its leadership in environmental stewardship, CAPT Stevenson shares how PMRF balances cutting-edge defense operations with a strong commitment to aloha ʻāina — love for the land. We talk community partnerships, cultural preservation, and the future of the facility, all while getting a glimpse into the Captain’s own leadership journey as he prepares for retirement this June.
Whether you’re curious about PMRF’s role on the island or just want to hear how national defense and local values intersect here on Kauai, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
