SANTA RITA, Guam -- Marine Corps tanks, Amphibious Assault Vehicles and other rolling stock aligned on Tango Pier, U.S. Naval Base Guam (NBG), Oct. 28 await to be backloaded onto the maritime prepositioning ship USNS PFC Dewayne T. Williams (T-AK-3009). The more than 80 pieces of rolling stock and equipment offloaded in the port of Apra Harbor represented a rare three-week maintenance opportunity where the use of NBG’s reinforced piers for amphibious and tracked vehicles was more than a proof of concept, but also an exercised capability for the port at Apra Harbor far west of a typical port of call, such as Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
