Mark Takai Pacific Warfighting Center is located on Ford Island in Honolulu, Hawaii within the Ford Island Historic Management Zone / Aviation Facilities Sub-Area, part of the Pearl Harbor National Historic Landmark.

Inouye stated, "If you're prepared for war, countries that may be thinking about doing mischief have second thoughts, so to prevent war, be ready." [9]
The two-story building is 34,300 square feet. The center replaced the previous 7,000 square foot simulation center that was located on Camp H.M. Smith and housed in a 60 year old former hospital. [11]
