Governor @louleonguerrero what kind of concerns have been raised with the military about this? What precautions are they taking testing-wise?
I am not comfortable with knowing that 11,000 military servicemembers will be staying on Guam for 2 weeks spreading COVID. @anumitakaur

Excuse me, I was referring to the 4,000 sailors aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt which resulted in over 1200 positive COVID test cases earlier this year, not the Ronald Reagan (although the Ronald Reagan ALSO had positive COVID cases this month too)https://news.usni.org/2020/09/04/sailors-test-positive-for-covid-19-on-carrier-uss-ronald-reagan …

They WILL be spreading COVID if they are allowed to be out in the public, with that many people it's just a given. That's 7% of Guam's population. Also, a scientific study that came out of the Roosevelt samples found nearly 20% of them were asymptomatic.https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6923e4.htm …

I am SICK of being the "shield" or "tip of the spear" for the U.S., a country completely mishandling the pandemic, doesn't allow us to vote, that just keeps building us up as a target in the Pacific.

As long as the people of Guam don't say anything, nothing will be done. Who else on Guam is with me?? Who else is saying anything? Planning anything? Because I think you might know if there's someone down to protest, it's me. But I can't be the only one planning man.

Update: some are already arrived, since WEDNESDAY. So nobody wanted to make it known until they got here. I see.https://www.postguam.com/news/local/valiant-shield-military-exercise-participants-housed-in-guam-hotels/article_258e5718-f249-11ea-8620-d7af451b1c09.html …

It’s known as OPSEC. Operation Security, nothing new. Any and all troop movement is done this way

I am aware of OPSEC but this is a "biennial training exercise", something planned, like the RIMPAC War Games in Hawai'i. So there should not be all this secrecy around it if it is just the usual training and not deployment of troops. My family is military so I know military.

Of course it should be kept from public knowledge, why broadcast our group movements prior to them moving. That is a recipe for disaster. I too am a military family, in fact one of my sons was stationed at Pearl Harbor and took part in these exercises.

So you should know then that RIMPAC was advertised for weeks prior to it so what is your point about OPSEC again?
