Navy finalizes plans for U.S. military buildup on Guam - News - Stripes: "The U.S. Navy firmed up plans Tuesday for a military buildup on Guam that could lead to a historic shift in military forces in the Pacific.
The Navy’s record of decision finalizes where facilities will be built for 8,600 Marines scheduled to move from Okinawa by 2014 and identifies the planned pace of the massive construction effort, according to a brief released by the Department of Defense Joint Guam Program Office.
But the Navy delayed decisions on controversial plans to build military training ranges on Guam’s ancestral land and to dredge coral in Guam’s main harbor for an aircraft carrier berth, according to the brief."
