Andersen Air Force Base is the northernmost installation on Guam and serves as the primary strategic bomber forward-deployment location in the Pacific, regularly hosting B-52 Stratofortress and B-1 Lancer rotational operations alongside the Pacific Command bomber taskforce. The island of Guam offers tropical beaches, warm Pacific waters, and Chamorro culture in a US territory that provides familiar comforts with an island lifestyle. Andersen is considered one of the best family assignments in the Pacific.
