Thank you gentlemen for your patience and we a re entertaining Resolution Number 186-32 (COR) "Relative to respectfully requesting President Barak Obama, Department of Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, and the United States Congress to permanently station a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system and a Patriot Missile Defense System on Guam for the protection of Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), the neighboring islands throughout Micronesia, and the Asia-Pacific region."

I MINA 'TRENT Al DOS NA WiESLA TURAN GUAHAH ! :;.:mo GUAM LEGISLATURE

have a provision in there to conduct an assessment of the viability of a missile defense system on Guam. So this is certainly very consistent with the position of some members of the US Senate so the timing is apropos. So Mr. Gallinari if I can please ask you to open up with statements?

Robert Gallinari I'll just tell a real short story. I was in New York for 5 months helping out on the hurricane sandy relief effort, I just got back here about 3 weeks ago. And when I was there, some of the folks in New York were asking me about the situation in Guam and what they're hearing about the North Koreans rattling their sabers. Starting to prepare for school children and stuff like that and they asked me is that really happening in Guam. I said absolutely, I said we look at this a little different than you folks back here in New York do. They didn't understand, actually the seriousness of it. I said, we're that close. So when we're here, we have a little different perspective out here than maybe folks do back in a lot of other places that are so·called out of physical reach. So to me, there's not really anything I'm going to testify except to me it's a no·brainer and we absolutely should. We deserve this protection and I'm not sure what to testify except I 100% agree that we should do this, absolutely. And I might add, there's nowhere else in the United States except the Coast of Alaska that knows what it is to be occupied or bombed by others and hostility, there's nothing else to say after that, thank you.

Senator Frank B. Aguon, Jr. Thank you very much Mr. Gallinari for your testimony this evening. Mr. Constantino.

Ambrosio Constantino, Guam Homeland Security Ad~lsor Hi my name is Ambrosio Constantino I'm the Homeland Security Advisor for Guam. I came down here in support, in favor of this resolution. One of my backgrounds was I used to be a near Defense Artillery Officer so I'm very familiar with some of the things that's required to defend an area.

So first off, I would refer to you to FM 44-100 and it talks about the 4 employment principles. It talks about mass, mix, mobility, and integration. FM or field manual 44-100 gives commanders basic principles on how to employ air defense systems. The one I want to talk about is mixed. One weapons system, such as the THAAD, which is currently here, has some weaknesses. And what you want to do is mix it up with different weapons systems. So having more than just 1, like for example if you were in a fire fight you'd have a gun that shoots straight, but then you would also want something that is indirect to be able to destroy things that's behind a barrier or something.

So same concept, THAAD is good against certain missiles, Patriots are good against other types of missiles or aircrafts, so the mix is very important. So when you look at that piece it's very important.

Whether you're in favor of the military being here or not, that could be a very lively discussion so I don't really want to talk about that, but what I do want to say is that they're here. There are strategic and operational pieces of equipment that are here in the military and what happens is that makes us a target. Case in point was the North Korean missile threat. We became a target only because there was a military installation that was here. And because of that, there has to be something to defend us.

So the issue is not necessarily the military presence whether they should be here or not, but more they're here, how are we going to defend this island. I was part of a team that was detailed from the National Guard to support homeland security during the missile threat and one of the things I saw was, there was a period where there was no

I MINA'TREHTAI DOS NA LJHESLATURAH GUAHAN I J:lND GUAM LEGISLATURE

missile system that was in place to defend us. It was a very short period, but still, a very short period and the time it takes for a missile to fly from North Korea to Guam is a relatively short amount of time. So I just want to point out, whether or not you're in favor of it, it's more of they're here and we need to protect ourselves.

The 3'd thing is, understand, and I was off-island when this happened, but Governor Calvo and the Secretary of the Army John McHugh was actually here talking about the increasing role of the military, so again, it brings the point that we are going to be a greater risk because we are a bigger target, more of a tempting target if anything. Right now I don't perceive a threat but 5 years down the road, 10 years down the road, we could be targeted again. I don't know, we don't know who our friends are, who our enemies are.

I want to talk about the economics as well. Economically there are benefits. We're talking about- if you're talking about a patriot battalion, you're talking about 600 people give or take. Which really is not much. The family support element, again it will not, I don't think it should impact anything regarding the infrastructure of Guam. So that's one thing to consider, if they showed up here right away, how much of an Impact would it be to our infrastructure? Now if all of a sudden it was a large contingency, let's say 30k people, that might have an impact but we're talking a relatively small amount of people. The only thing to consider is, again I'm not familiar with all the weapons systems because I've been away from the air defense side of the house, but it's more the safety aspect of it. What are the safe zones regarding- because it's got radars. it's got missiles capabilities and all that. I don't know what they are, so that's one thing to consider, what are the safety requirements as far as the missiles systems whether they be patriots or the THAAD missiles systems.

Again I just want to say that I am in favor, I do support defending ourselves just like all the previous bills, it's all about defending ourselves. And so on and so forth, so I would say the same thing. Whether or not we want the military here, the problem is they're here and by virtue of our proximity to the military installations, not just here but also in the surrounding areas, we are part of a target. And now my understanding is that this resolution is not just for Guam but for also the surrounding areas, so CNMI, they've got the roll on roll off ships, they're a target as well. So it's not just for our benefit, but for our sister islands. Thank you.

Senator Fronk 8. Aguon, Jr. Thank you very much Mr. Constantino for your comments this evening, gentlemen. Any questions or comments from anyone on the panel. Senator Tony Ada?

Senator V. Anthony Ada I just wanted to make one comment Mr. Chair and I just wanted to thank you for introducing this resolution. As you know we sat down in a meeting with a gentleman about having one part of the component without having the other part. You know it's like having your peanut butter without your jelly sandwich. And I think that it's important to know that the defense of our island is truly important and you spoke about the military being here whether it's something that we want or not and, I believe, I'm a veteran and I believe that anytime that we're trying to protect our home it's always a good thing. Whether it be our home where we live or our Island which is our home.

You didn't want to talk about the military and things like that, I think it is important to talk about the military. Because if we want a system to come here, the patriot system to come here to Guam, we need to be open with our people and let them know that without Component A, or Component B, Component A is just as useless. So we need to make sure that they're accepting to it. If we open our arms and we let them know what's going on, they are more accepting than

getting the back door shut at them, And saying, "you know what, you guys didn't tell us about this, why not?" so I truly believe that as patriotic and as loyal as our people are and not just to our nation but to our own island, I don't think we should have any resistance in having such a system brought here to Guam. And I think that even with this impending military build-up, this military relocation, I think even with all the voices that have been heard about not having it or having it. The end or the bottom line is the protection of our people and the protection of our island, and when you put that on the table, I think that people are more willing to accept that then saying, "you know what, we're not going to go through the atrocities of WWII again" and I believe that. So Mr. Chair, I'd like to thank you again for coming up with this resolution, to address this issue and l do hope that we would be able to move forward and be able to get Congress to realize and see that we are the tip of the spear in Asia and that the region does need to be protected, Thank you Mr. Chair.

Senator Frank B. Aguon, Jr. Thank you very much Senator Ada and likewise I just want to thank you Senator for co-sponsoring this resolution and also Senator Mccreadie. And to all the Senators that have remained this evening, I understand we had a long day but thank you very much for sticking through this public hearing and gentlemen thank you again for your comments on the resolution. With no other questions or comments, just to let everyone know the Committee will continue to receive testimony on any of the measures that have been entertained through the duration of today and then we will be dosing out the Committee Report shortly within a number of a few days. So thank you very much again for your attention to these matters and we certainly look forward to entertaining these measures on the floor. Thank you Senators, thank you everyone,

1

1 WHEREAS, throughout the year, Guam is host to a number of joint

2 training operations for the U.S. Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines and

3 the Navy, which is indicative of one of the United States' most strategic

4 forward operating base in the Asia-Pacific region; and

5 WHEREAS, we believe that the permanent installation of a missile

6 defense system on Guam would effectively serve to deter aggression and

7 sustain peace in the region; and

8 WHEREAS, the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) is the

9 nation's and world's newest land-based strategic missile defense system with

10 the capability to intercept and destroy long-range ballistic missiles inside or

11 outside the atmosphere during their final, or terminal phase of flight; and

12 WHEREAS, on April 4, 2013, U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel

13 signed an order to deploy a THAAD system to Guam in response to North

22 Council of the National Academies, entitled "Making Sense of Ballistic Missile

2

1 Defense: An Assessment of Concepts and Systems for U5. Boost-Phase

6 based interceptor with sites throughout the globe, which targets UA V, cruise

7 missiles, and short-range ballistic missiles; and

8 WHEREAS, the permanent stationing of both the THAAD system and

9 the Patriot Missile Defense System would enhance the overall defensive

I MINA'TRENTAI DOS NA LIHESLATURAN GUAHAN

Introduced by:

2013 (FIRST) Regular Session

F.B Aguon V.AAda B.T. McCreadie

Relative to respectfully requesting President Barack Obama, Department of Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, and the United States Congress to permanently station a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system and a Patriot Missile Defense System on Guam for the protection of Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), the neighboring islands throughout Micronesia, and the AsiaPacific region.

1 BE IT RESOLVED BY I MINA'TRENTAI DOS NA LIHESLATURAN

2 GUMAN:

3 WHEREAS, I Liheslaturan Guahan believes that Guam's strategic location

4 contributes to the United States of America's national defense posture in the

5 Asia-Pacific region; and

6 WHEREAS, Guam is home to approximately 160,000 U.S. citizens and is

7 the location of major military base installations for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air

8 Force in the southern and northern tips of the island, respectively; and

1

1 WHEREAS, throughout the year, Guam is host to a number of joint

2 training operations for the U.S. Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines and

3 the Navy, which is indicative of one of the United States' most strategic

4 forward operating base in the Asia-Pacific region; and

5 WHEREAS, we believe that the permanent installation of a missile

6 defense system on Guam would effectively serve to deter aggression and

7 sustain peace in the region; and

8 WHEREAS, the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) is the

9 nation's and world's newest land-based strategic missile defense system with

10 the capability to intercept and destroy long-range ballistic missiles inside or

11 outside the atmosphere during their final, or terminal phase of flight; and

12 WHEREAS, on April 4, 2013, U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel

13 signed an order to deploy a THAAD system to Guam in response to North

14 Korea's threats of launching a nuclear, ballistic missile attack targeted to

15 Guam; and

16 WHEREAS, the Alpha 4 THAAD battery, which came from the U.S.

17 Army's ltth Air Defense Artillery Brigade under the 32nd Army Air Missile

18 Defense Command (AAMDC) in El Paso, Texas, was put into operation on

19 Guam to defend the island and its people from potential North Korean

20 ballistic missile; and

21 WHEREAS, according to a 2012 report by the National Research

22 Council of the National Academies, entitled "Making Sense of Ballistic Missile

2

1 Defense: An Assessment of Concepts and Systems for U.S. Boost-Phase

2 Missile Defense in Comparison to Other Alternatives" a THAAD system

3 would be the one best suited to protect military bases on Guam and in Japan

4 from a North Korean attack; and

5 WHEREAS, the Patriot Missile Defense System is a mobile, ground-

6 based interceptor with sites throughout the globe, which targets UAV, cruise

7 missiles, and short-range ballistic missiles; and

8 WHEREAS, the permanent stationing of both the THAAD system and

9 the Patriot Missile Defense System would enhance the overall defensive

10 posture of the U.S. military for Guam, the Micronesia region and Asia; and

11 would further sustain peace in the Asia-Pacific region; now, therefore, be it

12 RESOLVED, that I Mina'Trentai Dos Na Liheslaturan Guahan, on behalf of

13 the people of Guam, respectfully request President Barack Obama,

14 Department of Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, and the United States

15 Congress to incorporate into its military defense strategy and operation, the

16 permanent stationing of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD)

17 system and a Patriot Missile Defense System on Guam for the protection of

18 Guam and CNMI, the neighboring islands throughout Micronesia, and the

19 Asia-Pacific region; and be it further;

20 RESOLVED, that the Speaker and the Chairperson of the Committee on

21 Rules certify, and the Legislative Secretary attest to, the adoption hereof, and

22 that copies of the same be thereafter transmitted to U.S. President Barack

3
