NAVAL BASE GUAM (July 23, 2025) – U.S. Naval Base Guam (NBG) will participate in the annual Commander, Naval Installations Command (CNIC) force protection exercise Citadel Pacific 2025 (CP25) July 28-Aug. 1.
The annual operational exercise is designed to enhance the readiness and capability of the installation to respond to internal or external threats. Exercise CP25 is not in response to any specific threat, but is a regularly scheduled exercise.
Measures have been taken to minimize disruptions to normal base operations, but there may be times when exercise events cause increased traffic around the installation, occasional delays in base access, and gate closures. Area residents may also see increased first responder activity associated with the exercise. Advanced coordination has taken place with local law enforcement and first responders.
As part of the exercise, the Giant Voice (GV) public address systems at NBG installations will be activated, and residents in surrounding areas will hear exercise announcements regarding force protection conditions throughout the week. The use of the GV system adds realism to the exercise.
