Is the US military on Guam "preparing" for a nuclear strike by the DPRK?

21
There are reports from the United States that military maneuvers and training of the American military contingent on the island of Guam have become significantly more frequent. It does not hide the fact that the frequency of maneuvers and exercises increased after Pyongyang’s claims that Guam was becoming a target for North Korean ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads.

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.

Is the US military on Guam "preparing" for a nuclear strike by the DPRK?


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.

      According to the legend of the exercises .... to build the frontiers of defense from a potential attack from the sea

      I can hardly imagine who this island might need, especially after a nuclear strike.

        Well, they need to get it and flee to their continent ... This is something that China and I will not allow! We’ll finish these devils in the first place so that not one bastard will not leave ... And then, on both sides, with grit on the “inviolable” .. How do you like this option?

          It’s too presumptuous ... Of course, the Koreans will not strike, and the Americans too, but hypothetically, if this happens, Russia will not intervene, at least at the official level, and China, I think, is also a maximum diplomatic protest ...

      Do not stop Americans from learning to fight in their own territory. Maybe they will not be so bloodthirsty in our Ukraine too.

    The best method for preparing Americans is to stall at a distance greater than the range of Korean missiles

    After the nuclear attack on Guam, there will be no one to save. And what they "train" for themselves there and why, it’s not clear at all! (especially the Marine Corps) There the air defense should train, at worst. fool
