Summary
The United States military is extending its reach into Asia by developing
new Air Force and Naval capabilities on the U.S. island territory of Guam.
The U.S. Air Force has recently stationed 62 conventional air-launched
cruise missiles, CALCMs, at Guam's Andersen Air Force Base. Meanwhile, the
Navy has begun a feasibility study into the possibility of stationing attack
submarines in Guam. The moves are the start of a long-planned U.S. military
buildup that will expand Guam's role as a forward operating location for the
Pacific Rim.
