Missile Defense: DOD Faces Support Challenges for Defense of Guam

Excerpt:  “Guam is home to more than 170,000 Americans and several military installations. Protecting this U.S. territory from missile attack is a Department of Defense priority. As of March 2025, the defense system in Guam included six missile launchers and one radar. DOD is planning to deploy additional systems. But it has yet to determine how many personnel are needed to operate the systems, when those personnel would be deployed, and more. DOD needs this information to, for example, ensure it has enough time to also build military housing and other supporting facilities. Our recommendations address this and other issues we found.”
