Guam International Airport to serve as support location for Valiant Shield

The military's Valiant Shield 2024 Exercise will also include activity seen from our local airport. 

The Guam International Airport has been designated as a support location for the military exercises.

So just a heads up if you do see the uptick in activity and noise from there.

It is taking place in the region, from today through June 18th.

Valiant Shield is a multinational, biennial field training exercise with a focus on integrating joint training among U.S. and partner-nations forces.

Airport executive manager John Quinata told KUAM News, “Guam International Airport runways and taxiways are a vital piece of infrastructure supporting not only commercial aviation, but a critical alternate or divert location for Andersen Airfield."

He thanks the community for their patience and understanding as the airport does its part in support of these joint military training exercises.
