关岛基本的军事基础设施包括汽油库、弹药库、庞大通讯设施以及为军事基地提供的其他服务的设施。
Petroleum storage, munitions stowage, extensive communications facilities and other service industries that cater to the military establishment form the basis of the military infrastructure in Guam.
2001年3月，关岛商会对关岛445名登记选民进行的调查表明，83％的选民支持增加在关岛的军事活动，并同意军事活动“为关岛作出了积极贡献”。
The United States military presence and spending on Guam have decreased considerably during the last decade.
43 2002年，美国海军将“圣体”号和“旧金山”号两艘洛杉矶级快攻核潜艇调至关岛。

Politicians in both Hawaii and Guam have been lobbying hard to become the chosen destination for the carrier owing to the significant impact it would have on the local economy.
航空母舰进驻关岛会为关岛带来几千个就业机会和几百万军事开支以及10 000名海员。

This question comprises two major issues: (a) the return of unused or underutilized lands held by the Department of Defense; and (b) the return of those lands to the original Chamorro landowners.
目前，美国政府，主要是国防部，根据美国法律拥有关岛三分之一以上土地的所有权。
The United States Government, principally its Department of Defense, currently holds title under United States law to over one third of the island.
这些土地是国防部在第二次世界大战后美国军队管理关岛的几年中征用并从私人地主手中获取的，1945年至1950年期间土地最初以每年续约的形式租用，美国政府在给予公民资格之后，通过国家征用程序获得了这些土地。
That land was condemned and acquired from private landowners by the Department of Defense during the years following the Second World War, when Guam was under the administration of the United States military.
The land was held initially on an annual renewable lease between 1945 and 1950 and was subsequently acquired by the United States Government through eminent domain procedures after the extension of citizenship.
