Is the US military on Guam "preparing" for a nuclear strike by the DPRK?
For reference: on the island, which is actually the territory occupied by the United States, there are two large military bases. This is the base of the US Navy Apra Harbor and the US Air Force Base Andersen. These American military installations occupy an area of 188 sq. Km, which is about 35% of the area of the entire island, where no more than 175 thousand people live.
Since early September, tactical exercises of the Navy and the United States Air Force have been held on Guam. Marines were alerted and, together with the amphibious units, worked out actions in the urban area. One of the areas of training - the evacuation of victims.
The military personnel of the US military police brigade, the 8 and 3 battalions of the Marine Corps, and the Pacific Amphibious Force of the US Navy were involved in the exercise.
According to the teachings of the legend, the city in Guam was subjected to a powerful strike, and the task of the military is to start evacuation in a timely manner, build defense lines against a potential attack from the sea and take measures to prevent a second strike. At this time, the military police in Guam should prevent possible attacks by terrorist groups.
How effective these trainings can be, if it comes to a real nuclear missile strike on Guam, is an open question.
