You could be getting your land back as the Department of Defense is currently in the process of transferring hundreds of acres back to the Government of Guam.

Hundreds of acres of excess federal lands are currently in the process of being returned to the Government of Guam, according to the Department of Defense. But whether or not GovGuam will return this land to original landowners remains to be seen.

Navy Secretary Kenneth Braithwaite in a letter to Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero responded to her August 2019 inquiry about potential excess lands being returned to GovGuam.
In a January 2021 letter, the secretary provided an updated list of 231 acres in the process of being returned to GovGuam and 95 acres of land subject to "potential transfer." Also listed - 6,225 acres of submerged lands.

The transfers in process of 231 acres give return dates from 2022-2026. The biggest parcels currently in the process of being returned to GovGuam - Parcel 7 of the former Seabee base Camp Covington, totaling 60 acres, 15.5 acres at the Piti Power plant and substation, 13.3 acres at Tanguisson Beach park, 6 acres at Agana Diesel Power Plant, 5.5 acres at USO beach park and 5 acres at Marbo Cave.

Of lands subject to potential transfer Secretary Braithwaite listed, the biggest parcel is 102 acres making up portions of the Eagles' Field area - which the Governor intends to use for the billion-dollar healthcare complex. Other parcels include 23 acres at Tumon Tank Farm, 5 acres west of route 3 and 2 acres next the Nimitz reservoir, among others. Also listed as potential to transfer were 6,225 acres of submerged lands from Hilaan, Asan and Tanguisson.

Guam Law - 21 GCA Chapter 80 - states properties returned to GovGuam from the federal government are to be returned to original landowners. However, in the event returned lands are kept by GovGuam for "continued public benefit" original landowners or their heirs are to be compensated via the land bank, according to Guam Ancestral Lands director John Burch.

In the navy secretary's list, DoD also gave justification on why it wasn't returning 1,818 acres of land to GovGuam, with the reasons mostly dealing with mission essentiality and security.
