Marianas Shield kicks-off tomorrow

by Joan Aguon Charfauros

Guam - Exercise Marianas Shield will be conducted on military installations beginning tomorrow and ending on March 4. The exercise is designed to enhance the training and readiness of military security personnel to respond to threats to installations and units.

Measures have been taken to minimize disruptions to normal base and station operations, but there may be times when the exercise will cause increased traffic around bases or delays in base access. Area residents may see and hear increased security activity associated with the exercise.
