He also graduated from the United States Army Command and General Staff College, and is a 1981 graduate of the United States Army War College.[5]

In June, 1987 D'Araujo was appointed Assistant Adjutant General – Army for the Hawaii National Guard. He served in this position until 1990, when he was named Deputy Director of the Army National Guard.[9]

In 1993 D'Araujo was named Director of the Army National Guard, and was succeeded as Deputy Director by William C. Bilo. He served in this position until retiring from the military in 1995.[10]
