Naval Base Guam is a United States naval installation located in the Western Pacific on the western shore of the island of Guam in Apra Harbor. The base is part of a larger Navy presence on the island known as Joint Region Marianas, which combines both Naval Base Guam and Andersen Air Force Base to the north. Naval Base Guam is one of the fastest-growing U.S. military installations in the world. Its expansion provides both opportunities and risks for the service members stationed here. As Guam takes on a larger role of the U.S. Military’s operations in the region, the threat of becoming the victim of a court-martial will only increase.
- Many of the most successful tactics by law enforcement to lure and ensnare service members into committing a crime will come to Guam. Some of these sting operations are already in effect across Joint Region Marianas.
- The strain between the local population and the military may increase in the coming years. This is almost certain to lead to more crackdowns and harsher sentencing to deter service members from committing any offense, however small, to appease local communities.
- A dishonorable discharge will not just be the end of your military career. It will mean the loss of tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in benefits along with greater difficulty finding a worthwhile civilian job when you return.
The threat to your military career and civilian liberties is very real and will not disappear on its own. Contact the law offices of Bilecki Law Group TODAY and start fighting back.
Naval Base Guam History and Court-Martial Activity
Guam became a U.S. Territory in the early 20th century. But calls by the military to fortify the island went unheeded for decades after its acquisition. During World War II, the island was invaded by the Japanese and subsequently occupied until 1944, when American forces stormed the island in force. It was only after the war that the U.S. Navy built Naval Base Guam, in the same location where the US Marine Corps barracks once stood in Apra Harbor.
Today, Naval Base Guam is set to receive one of the largest peace-time movements of troops in American history. Once the plan goes into effect, thousands of Marines from Okinawa may soon be stationed on Guam on a permanent basis, bringing the total number of U.S. forces over 10,000.
