NAVCOMMSTA GUAM

Naval Communication Station Guam (NAVCOMMSTA Guam) was established in 1944 following the liberation of Guam during World War II, serving as a vital communications hub for the U.S. Navy in the Pacific. Throughout the Cold War, the station played a crucial role in long-range radio communications, supporting both fleet operations and strategic command-and-control functions across the Pacific theater. NAVCOMMSTA Guam was notable for operating powerful transmitters and large antenna arrays, including the iconic AN/FRD-10 Circularly Disposed Antenna Array. In 1997, the command was reorganized and its functions integrated into Naval Computer and Telecommunications Station (NCTS) Guam, continuing its mission of providing secure communications support to U.S. and allied forces in the region.
