NAS Atsugi, Japan
U.S. Navy
Naval Air Facility (NAF) Atsugi, located in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, was commissioned in 1950 and has served as a critical hub for U.S. naval aviation in the Pacific region. Initially constructed by the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II, the airfield was taken over by U.S. forces following Japan's surrender. Throughout the Korean and Vietnam Wars, NAS Atsugi played a vital role in supporting air operations, logistics, and reconnaissance missions across Asia. Today, it continues to support U.S. Navy and Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force operations, strengthening the U.S.-Japan security alliance in the Indo-Pacific.

The Naval Security Forces (NSF) is a specialized unit within the United States Navy responsible for the protection and security of naval installations, personnel, and assets worldwide. Originating from the traditional roles of Navy Master-at-Arms, the NSF was formally established to address evolving security threats, including terrorism, espionage, and sabotage. Throughout its history, the NSF has played a crucial role in force protection, anti-terrorism operations, and law enforcement activities both onshore and afloat. Their presence is vital for safeguarding key naval infrastructure and ensuring mission readiness in support of U.S. naval operations globally.

NAVFAC Grand Turk
U.S. Navy
NAVFAC Grand Turk was a United States Navy Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS) facility established on Grand Turk Island in the Turks and Caicos Islands during the early years of the Cold War. Commissioned in 1954, its primary mission was to detect and track Soviet submarines in the Atlantic Ocean using underwater listening technology. The facility played a significant role in anti-submarine warfare and intelligence gathering throughout the Cold War era. NAVFAC Grand Turk was decommissioned in 1980 as advances in technology and changing strategic needs led to the consolidation of SOSUS operations.
NAVFAC Guam
U.S. Navy
NAVFAC Guam, or Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Marianas, traces its origins to World War II when the U.S. Navy established a significant presence on Guam following the island’s liberation in 1944. Initially focused on constructing and maintaining critical wartime infrastructure, the unit played a key role in supporting naval operations in the Pacific Theater. Over the decades, NAVFAC Guam has evolved to provide comprehensive engineering, construction, and facilities management services for all U.S. military branches stationed on Guam and throughout the Marianas. Today, it remains a vital component of U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy, ensuring operational readiness and supporting the strategic posture of American forces in the region.
