On the USS Stennis, pilots prepare for another mission over the Pacific. It s all part of Operation Valiant Shield, a demonstration that America is present , explains Capt. Bradley. No one here will admit it but the deployment of 30 warships and several hundred combat aircraft is aimed at making China take note. It s the biggest show of American power in the Pacific for 30 years. Along with Operation Valiant Shield, Washington intends transforming the island of Guam into a 21st century fortress. This is the largest transfer of forces in the history of the military , explains Cpt. Robert Lee. The base will cost an estimated $15 bn.

Thank you to the people of Guam for your many sacrifices on behalf of the United States of America.
They're angry that the US is taking over the island. They can care less if you amend them for their sacrifices. The people just want their island back.
@Michael Maya that is stupid
God Bless You
@@xeji4348; If they're so angry why do they still Serve in our Armed Forces?.
Guam, The Philippines, The Marshal Islands and PR were ceded to The USA after The Hispano-American War of 1898.
The Philippines received their Independence after WW2,(and We still have bases and forces deployed for their defense). The Marshal Islands sometime later as an "Associated Republic",(wich still use our currency and their defense is under our Armed Forces), however Guam as the Island of PR are currently territories of the USA, their population are Citizens of our Country and have made extremely valuable contribution in times of War. Their Sacrifice won't be forgotten.
Guam are very dedicated Servicemembers while PR has provided some of the best Infantrymen in our Armed Forces and for that We're extremely grateful. We'll Protect these territories to the best of our ability and then some, they are our Citizens and they've earned it.
While any person serves in our Country's Military are all Brothers, it doesn't matter the branch of Service. The enemy ammunition doesn't discriminate between branches of our Brothers.
Semper Fi!.
I went to Guam for my birthday, absolutely beautiful ! And since I am an American technically I can live there. The Guam people are very kind people.
Guam is truly a super base but being a super base its also a juicy target. That's why US military is introducing a new concept of small dispersed bases or outposts which will be relocatable and not easy to target and destroy. But that aside Guam is strategically extremely important since it can only be targeted by ballistic missiles, any fighter jet force would be annihilated way before it got an opportunity to fire its weapons upon Guam.
The narrator said: "Japan's government is contributing $6 billion U.S. dollars to help transfer 8,000 American marines from Okinawa to be permanently stationed in Guam." Just goes to show you that Japan does not want American troops on their soil.

+David Schne America -_-
I'm from America you 3rd world peasants.
This video is so naked,why there must be confrontation?Why not peace?
Ryan Wang Because China doesn't want to,in peace time prepare for war time!
I was in Guam, Saipan, and Tinian back in 86 thru 88 on the MPS ships. Guam has changed alot since I was there
this is shameful us citizens should be able to vote no matter where they're from
Maybe Guam ought to apply for statehood. If we could make Hawaii a state, why not Guam?
True
What are your origins! if you are not a member of the first nations shut up!
...all citizens can vote, who told you they can't?
MrAwsomenoob CCP troll!
I'm surprised that with all those military men and women,along with the machines and weaponry the island hasn't tipped over yet.
Very beautiful island!!! Would love to holiday here
Guam is the first line defense against American enemies so we should build up more for Guam !
just show China our greatest military leader, michael jackson in the sparkle uniform.
...if done so, their armies would become fanatics to Michael Jackson, and no one would fight, just dance!
Thanxs for a great video
US-Land Grab of Hawaii, Kosovo, Guam, Okinawa, South Cuba!!!
And California, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas......
They were in the Philippines for like 50 years before they gave us our independence. If you ever notice, when a country has a large navy they will usurp other nations.
keep it up america go on...
The Chinese love American people and culture and never want to fight with the US. but if you are forcing us to, we will and will be ruthless
The commander of the carrier,,,,,,,,,,who does he think he is kidding. Also the carrier is not defensive, it launches air craft to attack, it did in Iraq, Afghan, and everywhere else it has engaged. If war were to break out with China or Russia, do you want to be on a Carrier? It is used in the commanders words,,,,as an intimidation tool. In reality it would go down , horrifically.
4.08 'What does Three Aircraft Carriers Mean'?!! ( An Amazing Commitment). Ha ! GO USA!!!
Guam is part of what the PRC called "Di San Dao Lian"/"The 3rd Island chain", according to an article I translated published in the PLA magazine "Naval and Merchant Ships". This was way back in 1990. They consider it part of their outer sphere of influence. They are patient and believe in long term planning. So take your pick Guam, the USA or China? Guam has NEVER ruled itself unless you want to go back to pre-Spanish. It's been a colony one way or the other for 500 years.
Why America could not sleep without an enemy?
It's more like the *Pentagon* which couldn't sleep without an enemy
+Ting Lok Ryan 樂 says:
"Why America could not sleep without an enemy?"
==
Without it, the defense contractors go bankrupt.
If there's no enemy, the media creates one.
Careful, u don't want those billionaire weapon contractor losing some millions !
Ting Lok Ryan 樂 well that's the price of winning some wars you become the focal point of every up and coming power wants to beat you in some way to enforce their own prestige
Well because like the late great Marine Gen once said and wrote a book also - "War is a racket" simple as that ...Smedley Butler - He realized what he'd become.
WE NEED PEACE BECAUSE PEACE IS BETTER FOR ALL , EVERY ONE STILL HAVE THE CHANCE TO REPENT ....
16 billion $ could have fix City of Detroit
Not really.The democrats in charge would just waste the money.
Detroit is a great big sink hole,put money in it and watch it disappear. Let the Democrats fix what they created.
Look at all these Reich wingers demonstrate they know nothing of public policy. It's why Dump got beat in the fairest election in world history.
Its 2022 and USA Military are still very strong here on Guam 👍💯🇬🇺
Trump, if elected, and decree that the US pull out all the American Troops from South Korea and Japan, will send a strong signal to the whole of Asia. There will be alot of arm's race happening in Asia in a big hurry.
This exercise was in 2007. Old news. I was there in 1997 building schools for the DoDEA, working with NMCB 40, 133 and the Air Force Red Horse Squadron at Anderson.
It was neat to see my old squadron, VFA-204 in the footage.
interesting i never would have guessed this was in 2007 especially seeing as its not in the title
Oh by the way....who said the US rules the world!
Who do you think it rules the world?
It`s not who" its what! and the answer is money?
the so called "PAX AMERICANA". I guess it's peaceful if you're agreeing with the dominant culture, this is extremely similar to what occurs in colonisation. Colonisation without colonisation.
Russia
...the USA personal enemy: Vladimir Putin, who else.
make peace my friends
what i dont get is how the Us fights all these wars and ruins all these countrys and now were all freinds like ??
Operation: Desert Storm Kuwait
They also rebuild the countries they destroyed. Look at Germany, S Korea, Japan. Enemies of US, 60 years ago. Staunch allies of US now.
Good Job :)
+Lazare Korea, south korea
we ain't your friend
God bless the united states of america ,you will prevail as always, we love and pray for your safe in any danger❤❤❤❤❤
How about solving your U$21 trillion debt before worrying about what China does?
If you worry too much about debt, you'll forget about China and what they're doing in North Korea and in the South China Sea. The United States made promises for military power in Asian countries, and those are promises that they're still going to do.
hope and change. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha😂
If you study economics you will understand.
serv321 But US is losing more income while China' s income is rising fast due to its investment world wide.
...yes, they lend US our own money of the profit US give them. And it is not 21 trillion dollars. That's fake news of yours.
Thanks for the video. I wonder how Quam citizens feel about statehood.
Carriers are bomb magnets.

When the war started China will destroy all the US aircraft carriers with those thousands of those specific ballistic missiles. Even fire from the satellttes.

@@Karma1062 I beg to disagree.
Sowing stability around the globe 500lb at a time. Honestly this is a weird world.
Oh no!!!! China will soon have the capability to go to war with the Utah national guard!
...true.
If the local people start to demostrate and demand to close US bases, (like in Okinawa), how about US building artificial islands like China did.
First nuclear missiles from China or Russia are on Guam ...
d0928b CCP troll!
I hope that we can have a title in Chinese and subtitle which Chinese can read.
It is important to have Chinese military and political officials see this.
Are you dumb or what? Chinese know every piece of US weapons, they have long and clear of US military information on their Chinese website everyone can read, their military experts are super professional, they know exactly what the American strong points and weak points, US can not scare China.
+XDXD 蠢豬，難道你不知道很多中國人不懂英文嗎？
what will happen if both china and USA have equal military hardware on quantity? ? I think USA not the superior at all
We've actually used our equipment in multiple wars so your answer lacks anything but a guess
The difference is that for the past century China have lost every war it engages to! No Matter how much equipment it has! Plus China does not spend a trillion dollar to its military! By max it spends a mere 250 billion!
+Faqyur Ma'ama we never lost the war we just lost interest. In the ratio of death between both sides we surely did win . Most battles were without a doubt won. 50 cents for your comment though.
USA will win because of made in china crap that is mostly fake
u r right, but the problem started when China announced in 2015 that in 2018-19 will decide who is super power. China has the biggest reserved of dollars if they want to destroy American economy they can do any time(dollar devalue). same thing happened with Russian in 1992, Russia break up due to weak economy even has strongest war equipment. It is my opinion may be wrong or right
China wanted war games with Australia 10+ years ago but our American friends told us that it wasn't permissible. With a population smaller than Texas & spread out in a country as almost as big as the USA, is it any wonder we have defence concerns.
USA ALL THE WAY
I can say , at the 18 min mark. Yes , it will protect and defend. It's 100% proven. I take pride in my job that I build the THAAD launcher
AWESOME JOB USA MILITARY!!!!
so what unit did you serve with and how many tours of combat have you done? i'm a war hero so unless you are the same you might want to take a seat. be well.
Since Guam is not a U.S. state, U.S. citizens residing on Guam are not allowed to vote for president and their congressional representative is a non-voting member, why cant u give equal rights to guam for their sacrifice?
go home Yanks
China man Run!
tisoy909 wherever u Yanks go, trouble follows. u guys ain't nothing but instigators, and troublemakers. *ie*. Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Africa, Asia, Balkans, etc. You're on the cusp of starting WW3 w/Russia & China. Why are u there? America is on the other side of the planet, Go Home Yanks!
make us
+Sean Lee read ur history dumbass
+Sean Lee u don't give up ur hand ,when u have one.
What was the plan with the turbofan engines on the wings called?
+Horizon585 thanks
I love to watch all things about our planes very impressive makes me proud,best of the best!
this video encourages war
Magallean was Portuguese, and the Cross in the ship sails was only common on Portuguese vessels, because of Order of Christ movement, which Infante D. Henrique was part of, a following order of the Templars!
Been there, done that! USS Saratoga CVA 60
Having US troops out only means someone else will occupy Guam. Fact of life.
It's not just the hardware, but the hundreds of manuals implicit in its operations. China will take decades to understand all the issues involved, just as the US took decades.
Lol
Captain Lee looks like he can put a few kfc barrels away!!
They have Weapons one conventional Weapon that could take out 10 Tank Div. No one wins game over.
Britain has continually had referendums in a number of off-shore concerns; ie,Falklands'. Gibraltar...
Yes
We are building enemies. We have to create enemies in order to have reasons to increase military spending.
Equalizer Rule na mate, China’s waking up and militarising aggressively and needs to be contained
Add Guam to Hawaii, call it guawaii. Done
England gived Guam Island to Americans!!! No referendum of Guamspeople!!!
WOW. crazy the significance of this video and its hidden in a discreet video title.... i never knew anything about "FORTRESS GUAM" but i will be doing major research.
When was this video made? It 2016, so currently there are 40,000 US military personnel in Guam.
Why does the USA have to show their adversaries their capabilities. It is giving free intelligence to these entities.
I do not think that China would be foolish enough to engage with the US on a large scale front. China's behaviors in the SCS are very worrisome, mostly for the bordering nations that are being "colonized" . The US is trying to shore up these countries, and that almost always spells: military assistance.
When diplomatic entreaties fail, limited hell will break out.
I do not think the US is foolish enough to engage with China on a large scale front. I am relying on cooler heads to prevail in this (these) situations.
They are there to play chess! US
Should be patience ,cool head to
Get checmate move mode on
That old wise dancing dragon!
Guam citizens should start or have fallout shelters if any attack should happen. Now there is none expected for caves. Citizens safety should be in the Pacific plan's.
What China may do is to give short ultimatum for invading forces to leave before using nuke for defence .
If US engages war with BRICS UNION, US is surely doomed since no country or even EU wouldn't dare go against BRICS as they're the World's most powerful union and most respected. Needles to say but no one will risk for US's fat benefits anymore! The World is more aware now than during 40's 50's 60's and even 90's and since most nations already knows that US is only for its imperialist benefits and its oligarchs who's running the wall street. Hence there's no drive for those forced un-nations to fight for Rothschild his Oil rigs and Banks. If US was a Pure-Nation of 2billion with seven times stronger weaponry, things would been much easier to force its (New World Order) Just like the Communists, Lenin and Trotsky in Russia.
So Okinawa is too close to China so the U.S. is pulling back to Guam which is much farther from China, Taiwan, Japan and Korea.
Forget Hong Kong, Dock at Taiwan,,,
Guam is still part of the Philippines!!!
Wth are you even saying!….Philippines has nothing to do with Guam!…
The Guam native should accept that they are a occupied people. like it or not. it's not right but that is the it is and American will never leave. The same goes to Japan, S.Korea...and to some point the Philippines as well.
You need to have a reason first . It's very easy for people to disregard the facts and imagine dangers and risks. The facts are there has been no wars between big countries since the end of world war 2. No wars between South and North Korea since the 1952. The system has been working.
I love US , but the US I used to hear before is no more, other countries don't even regard America again. America is going down.
Ferdinand Magellan was Portuguese.
Every time I got a flight, I didn't get any "safety gear"? And I landed on a carrier and got dropped out of a helo to the fantail of a destroyer.
This vid seems to be about air craft carrier, I noticed a picture of Guam in the beginning. Misleading, I dont want to watch about the Empire's weapons
I stopped buying Chinese made products in Canada long time ago lol
So you buy Chinese products in Mexico and the US?

Two guys each holding a grenade on one hand and other hand the grenade pin. Both will be killed if either one of grenades explodes. This is called MAD (mutually assured destruction). This is not who is more brave; it's who is more mad ! Translate grenade to nuclear bombs.
war mongering america should be taught a lesson
Been there done that, man It sucked!
Guam aways was just a small Island in a strategic location....that's why it was a key target in WWII.....Duh....
respect from the united states virgin islands give us all rights all the territories lost people to America's wars
I am a fan of Meagan Saunders, go Meagan.
try stopping 50-100 modern missiles, all ships carriers can be sunk
THE PEACEFUL NATIVES ALWAYS SEEM TO BE IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME!!!
Guam is the vessel state of USA empire Iraq and Afghanistan are 2 countries invaded and conquered by the USA empire
I just realized... it's so funny, low and stupid - why America keep on showing those aircraft carriers? Those are like ducks in water for coastal batteries of China. And range of naval aircraft is not that long... they can not even fly from Indian ocean to Afghanistan.
America will to the end and everyone will pay the price dearly.
@11:14 AMEN
#Salute
Rumbo "wants to be consulted" our indians in Canada want to "be consulted" also. It's code word for I want your money.
be a shame if those planes got hacked.
Tired of too much show off!!! You are so great at that...
That radio in the beginning reminded me of gta
More taxes
both in war, nobody wins.
"prepare for war to prevent a war" ?
Ya the Empire of the world -
That little island will turn into a crap and no where for people to run if it is involved. Taiwanese island Zin Mung get 60,000 bombs an hour 24 hour a day, 7 days a week non stop bombing.Everything will be total. That was in 1950s I believe . You don't want that to happen again.
distance is God's bless to American
