A Godzilla movie absolutely needs military sequences! The support from US military was limited... so the production rented most of the military propos from company in California and Canada (so fake Abrams MBT, fake Stryker, fake MRAP etc.). They were able to film with actual military personel in Hawaii. You can see in the trailer that, during the HALO jump sequence, they stand up inside a bigger plane (C-17), but they actually jump from a smaller plane (C-130 class). For the filming they built a model of a Navy landing ship, and the front part of a Burke class destroyer. Most of the aircrafts and helicopters will be pure CGI I guess.
