USPACOM Mission Statement US Pacific Command, in concert with other US government agencies and regional military partners, promotes security and peaceful development in the Asia-Pacific region by deterring aggression, advancing regional security cooperation, responding to crises, and fighting to win.

Prosecute and Win the GWOT USPACOM Focus Areas Prosecute and Win the GWOT Mature our Joint and Combined Warfighting Capability and Readiness Ensure Operational Plans are Credible Advance Regional Security Cooperation Posture Forces for Agile and Responsive Employment Strategic imperatives confronting the Commander U.S. Pacific Command. We must develop our forces and adjust our posture in such a way as to provide for homeland defense and maintain a strategic reserve, while remaining capable of projecting power into the two geographic regions of emphasis contained in our AOR. We must be positioned to swiftly defeat the efforts of two aggressors simultaneously in Northeast Asia or the East Asian littoral, as well as be able to decisively defeat either of them if so directed. The new security environment in the Pacific and the emerging threats require us to confront both the asymmetric lethality of international terrorism while posturing to dissuade strategic competition and deter conflict with or between state actors in this theater. The need to project combat power forward in response to a set of lesser scale contingencies is growing and requires increased reliable forward access to suitable locations.

USPACOM AOR USPACOM USPACOM is unique insofar as we have control over both U.S. and overseas facilities USPACOM Headquarters Camp Smith, HI The Asia-Pacific region encompasses 51% of the earth’s surface and includes 60% of the population.

Environmental Issues – Japan & Guam DPRI FRF Iwakuni/Atsugi USMC Relocation Training PCBs Land Returns Facilities - U.S. forces in Japan have exclusive use of 88 facilities in Japan. U.S. facilities range in size from communications relay sites of less than 100-square meters to training areas of several thousand acres. In all, the U.S. controls approximately 77,000 acres. There are 52 U.S. military facilities on mainland Japan. There are currently 36 U.S. sole-use facilities on Okinawa. Okinawa is the major U.S. forward logistics base in the Western Pacific. All of this is changing with the proposed GIMDP

Strategic Policy Initiative Land Returns Yongsan Relocation Plan Environmental Issues - Korea Strategic Policy Initiative Land Returns Yongsan Relocation Plan Land Partnership Plan The goal of SPI is for ROKG to take a more prominent role in the defense of the peninsula. The number of troops and bases will be reduced as U.S. forces relocate to two major enduring hubs. The return of previously held camps and training areas associated with these plans has been significantly delayed by environmental cleanup issues.

Returns to Korean control (effective 15 July 2006): 13 Camps Land Returns to Korea Returns to Korean control (effective 15 July 2006): 13 Camps 5 other facilities DoD will continue clean-up (bio-slurping) for 6 months at 5 other camps "KISE" concept of responsibility under SOFA to clean up Known, Imminent and Substantial Endangerments to health Recently, USFK successfully handed over the keys to 18 facilities. After extensive OSD involvement and negotiation, the ROKG reluctantly agreed to accept the facilities and continues to push for more extensive clean up efforts on the part of USFK. The U.S. position continues to be that we will uphold our SOFA agreement to remedy KISE level cleanup responsibilities and some additional agreed to measures.
