USCG Radsta Guam

USCG RadSta (Radio Station) Guam was established by the United States Coast Guard in 1944 during World War II, following the liberation of Guam from Japanese forces. The station played a vital role in supporting maritime communications across the Western Pacific, serving as a key link for search and rescue operations, navigational safety, and coordination of U.S. naval and merchant traffic. Throughout the Cold War and into the late 20th century, USCG RadSta Guam continued to modernize its facilities and technology, maintaining its strategic importance in the region. The station was eventually decommissioned as advancing satellite and digital communication systems rendered long-range radio less critical, but its legacy endures as a cornerstone of U.S. maritime operations in the Pacific.
