According to Kyodo News, the new base in Guam will host 4,000 US Marines that will be transferred from Okinawa.

But the plans to deploy the Marine Littoral Regiment further entrenches the military presence in the Okinawa prefecture.
There is also local opposition to the expansion of the US military presence in Guam, as Kyodo reported anti-base demonstrators protested against the opening of the new Marines Corps facility. An activist said that the military buildup will make Guam “a target for a war that we didn’t want to be part of.”

And worst off, this base makes us a bigger target for war.”
