Military Buildup in Guam

The military buildup in Guam involves expanding U.S. military facilities and infrastructure on the island to enhance defense capabilities in the Asia-Pacific region. This includes relocating troops, constructing new bases, and upgrading existing ones to better address regional security threats. The goal is to ensure rapid deployment, improve readiness, and strengthen deterrence against potential conflicts. While intended to bolster regional stability, the buildup has also raised concerns among local residents regarding environmental impacts, cultural preservation, and the social effects of increased military presence.
