  • RODERICK R. LEON GUERRERO HAGATNA, GUAM I Have Quietly
    RODERICK R. LEON GUERRERO HAGATNA, GUAM I have quietly listened to the ongoing controversy over my relief as Adjutant General for the Guam National Guard (GUNG). I’ve wrestled with how and if I should respond. I have determined there is a need to respond to defend the good Soldiers, Airmen, and Civilian Employees of our GUNG because of the weak response by the GUNG when asked for comments by the media about the transition report. My response is based on my memory, I do not have access to reports, but can be validated by the GUNG, and does not cover all concerned areas identified in the transition report. My primary concern is the accuracy and the generalization of the transition report leaked to the media. The unintended consequences of a potentially inaccurate transition report combined with the press coverage and negative public perception of the GUNG may have an impact on the morale of the hardworking and dedicated Soldiers, Airmen, and Civilian employees of the GUNG. I question how the transition report can measure sexual assault/sexual harassment (SA/SH), low morale, fraternization, inequalities in promotion, an untenable ratio of men to women in leadership and command positions in the Guam Guard. The transition committee could have used federally produced reports to help with their assessment. I suspect that someone or a members from the Leon Guerrero-Tenorio Transition Team interviewed service members of the GUNG. Civilians of a political team interviewing U.S. service members is not appropriate. There are protocols in place to obtain information from service members.

CJMT Siting Study January 2013 Abstract ABSTRACT The purpose of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) Joint Military Training (CJMT) Requirements and Siting Study (Siting Study) is to identify potential locations for meeting United States (U.S.) Pacific Command (PACOM) Service Components’ known and anticipated military training deficiencies (i.e., unfilled training requirements) within the CNMI. Previous studies and assessments have been prepared by or in accordance with the Department of Defense (DoD) to analyze U.S. military training capabilities in the western Pacific. These studies identified unfilled training requirements for units deployed to or transiting through the Mariana Archipelago, specifically CNMI. This Siting Study develops and applies operational siting criteria to determine potential locations within the CNMI where the unfilled requirements could be met. Operational siting criteria were developed based on characteristics needed in a candidate land area to support unit-level and combined-level ranges and training areas.
