This program will increase the number ofmilitary personnel on the island from 6,420 to approximately 18,930 and the number of militarydependents from 7,690 to some 19,140. The military initiated this program in May 2006 andinitially expected construction to be completed in 2014. However, the Guam Military BuildupProgram has been delayed and may not be complete until as late as 2020, with peak constructionoccurring from 2015 to 2017.Given the broad nature of the transition, planners are considering all existing militaryinstallations on Guam as locations for various facilities prescribed under this program, includingaviation facilities, housing for military personnel and dependents, firing ranges, embarkationwharfs, and berthing wharfs. These areas include Andersen Air Force Base, Tiyan, OrotePeninsula, NCTS Finegayan, South Finegayan, Andersen Air Force Base South, Barrigada, theOrdnance Annex, and Apra Harbor Naval Complex.4-14
