Ceremony To Mark 13th Air Force's Move From Guam To Hawaii

Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, will host a relocation ceremony at 10 a.m. Tuesday in Hangar 1 for the 13th Air Force. During the ceremony, Gen. Paul Hester, Pacific Air Forces commander, will officially designate the move by the 13th to Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii. The command will operate from Hickam until it becomes the new Warfighting Headquarters in the fall, according to an Air Force news release. The 13th Air Force moved to Andersen after leaving Clark Air Base, Luzon, Philippines, in December 1991, because of Mount Pinatubo’s eruption.
