The U.S. Navy has awarded more than $1 billion worth of contracts and task orders for work on military bases on the Pacific Island of Guam, most for Marine Corps Base Camp Blaz, which is intended to accommodate thousands of Marines being relocated from Okinawa, Japan.
The U.S. Marine Corps has committed to beginning the flow of Marines from Okinawa to Guam roughly by FY2025, with the date of completion still to be determined. The Dept. of Defense has assessed the total cost of the Okinawa relocation at $8.7 billion, with $3.1 billion provided in contributions by Japan.
