The Air Force munitions stockpile in Guam recently received a 10% boost, according to the U.S. military.
A total of 816,393 munitions assets valued at over $95 million dollars were delivered to Andersen Air Force Base between Aug. 21 and Sept. 30, 36th Wing Public Affairs revealed in a statement Wednesday.
"The inbound munitions ensure required assets are available in theater to support national objectives," explained Maj. Erik Schmid, 36th Munitions Squadron commander. "The munitions will increase the overall availability of day-to-day training assets and War Reserve Material stocks to support warfighting capabilities," the statement introduced.
The commander of the Pacific Air Forces addressed the severity of the North Korean threat Monday while warning that the U.S. military remains ready to fight should that course of action be required.
"The North Korean nuclear weapons and missile development program is truly a threat to us all," Pacific Air Forces commander Gen. Terrence O'Shaughnessy said in Seoul, South Korea, adding, "While the United States will always seek peace over war, we remain poised to defend our ideals, our allies, and those who help preserve these international rules and norms."
