Rising threats to American national security in East Asia coincide with declining local support for U.S. basing access there. Yet no alternative access points are currently available. To prevent this contradiction from harming U.S. interests in that strategically vital region, U.S. planners have finally recognized the imperative to build up Guam as a sovereign anchor of America's force posture in East Asia. This article examines regional threats to American interests, Guam's importance as a forward logistics hub, and the infrastructure renaissance and regional access initiatives that will be necessary to help Guam fully realize its new role
