  • Letter to SHPO Draft MITT SFP Comments
    December 16, 2020 Carlotta Leon Guerrero Acting Guam State Historic Preservation Officer Guam State Historic Preservation Office Department of Parks and Recreation 490 Chålan Palåsyo Agana Heights, 96910 Via email: [email protected] Subject: 2020 Draft Programmatic Agreement Among the Commander, Joint Region Marianas and the Guam State Historic Preservation Officer, Regarding Military Training and Testing on, and within the Surrounding Waters of the Island of Guam Buenas yan Håfa Adai, While I appreciate the opportunity to comment on the draft Mariana Islands Training and Testing (MITT) Programmatic Agreement (PA), it must be stated that the document that has been presented to the public constitutes an injustice to the CHamoru people, as it will repeat the mistakes of past programmatic agreements that privilege military use of our land and water over our indigenous practices without genuinely safeguarding our historic sites, our cultural resources, and our heritage from the impacts of the federal actions, identified and unidentified, both of which are covered in the PA. Throughout our experience, programmatic agreements have provided little to no recourse of protecting our sacred and unique heritage, as is the case with Mågua village, Tailålo’, Litekyan, countless burial and latte sites, and the natural landscapes that are integral to our historic sites and districts. If we are to truly safeguard our cultural and environmental resources, the PA should not be entered into unless it can guarantee the full protection of our unique and sacred heritage. This draft PA fails to do so, especially with a massive and long-term undertaking such as the MITT. Should the Leon Guerrero-Tenorio Administration pursue the PA, I recommend that consultations be terminated at this time to allow for broader public input to create a document that ensures preservation of our burials, historic sites and districts, cultural practices, our heritage, and mandates transparency, accountability, and restitution, not mitigation.

Fleet Readiness Center Southeast Welcomes First F-5N Tiger II From Fleet Readiness Center Southeast Public Affairs A group gathered in a Fleet Readiness Center Southeast (FRCSE) hangar eagerly awaiting the arrival of the depot’s first F-5N Tiger II fighter, Sept. 11. As the aircraft taxied, trumped in size by the P-8As it passed on the flight line, it showcased its most anticipated attributes. Cmdr. Matt Pearce, F-5 pilot instructor with Fighter Squadron Composite 111 based at NAS Key West, Florida, described it as small, maneuverable and cost-effective — saving the warfighter and taxpayer money, materials and resources. “What we don’t have in technology, we make up in tactics and knowledge,” Pearce said. “Once you take your eyes off of us outside of a mile to a mile and a half, it’s very hard to pick us back up.” Plainly put, by training an F/A-18 pilot in a jet used by the adversary in combat, he or she learns how to outwit and out maneuver the enemy. Once tactical skills are mastered using a hands-on approach, take that same pilot, put him or her in a superior aircraft and expect a well-rounded aviator who Photos by Toiete Jackson can rip a hole in the sky.
