Guam’s two main bases displaced a village and control coastal land

Evidence

Andersen Air Force Base occupies the northern part of Guam, including some of its longest and most beautiful beaches. Naval Base Guam occupies Apra Harbor, one of the largest in the western Pacific, along the southwest coast, where Guam’s second-largest village once stood. Across the island, the Air Force and Navy also control a patchwork of ordnance depots, communications facilities, housing developments, and annexes. — David Vine, Base Nation_ How U.S. Military Bases…, 233
