Guam Missile Defense: Report Highlights Lack of Clear Strategy

Guam Missile Defense Strategy Lacking

A recent report has highlighted the absence of a well-defined strategy for maintaining Guam's missile defense systems. This comes as the U.S. military continues to strengthen its presence in the Indo-Pacific region.
