Maj. Gen. Henry Clay Hodges, Jr. commanded the Hawaiian Department from March-May of 1919. The son of a Civil War veteran, he gained appointment to West Point in 1877 and obtained his commission in 1881. His first 20 years of service were with the 22nd Infantry Regiment, including time in the Philippines during the Spanish-American War.

After four years of recruiting duty and Construction Quartermaster, Hodges returned to the 22nd Infantry Regiment as Commander of the 2nd Battalion from 1905-06.
