Why are we sending thousands of military personnel to Guam?
Over the next five years, as many as 30,000 service members and
their families will descend on the small island of Guam, nearly
tripling its presence there. It's part of a larger agreement that
the U.S. signed with Japan to realign American forces in the
Pacific, but how will this multi-billion dollar move impact the
lives and lifestyle of Guam's nearly 180,000 residents? NOW ON
PBS travels to the U.S. territory of Guam to find out
whether its environment and infrastructure can support such a
large and quick infusion of people, and why the buildup is vital
to national security.
