Public Comments Due on U.S. Deployment of THAAD in Guam
The US Army has announced the availability of the updated Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) Permanent Stationing in Guam, Environmental Assessment (EA), including the Draft Findings of No Significant Impact. The EA assesses the potential impacts associated with the current expeditionary (temporary) placement and operation of a THAAD ballistic missile defense battery at Anderson Air Force Base in Guam [since 2013], and from the proposed permanent stationing of the THAAD battery at the current location on Northwest Field.
The EA was previously released for public comment in June 2015. Because of changes to the overall size of the cargo drop zone (CDZ) training area and associated vegetation clearing, and the completion of agency consultations for biological and cultural resources, the updated EA and associated FNSI are being released for public comment.

Below are the comments submitted by the Global Network:
Our organization opposes the deployment and testing of THAAD in Guam. The process of using lands on Guam is evidence of US continued colonization of this island. The creation of suitable deployment sites for the array of THAAD technologies will have adverse effects on the land. The stor…
For all these reasons we think the deployments of THAAD on Guam should be rejected.
