The U.S. military plans to practice live fire training at Pagan island in Micronesia, which is home to the Chamorro people as well as many plants and animals found no where else in the world. It’s just one of many gorgeous islands where the U.S. has practiced war.
Pagan island in the Commonwealth Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI)
Pagan is located north of Saipan and is made up of two volcanoes. The northern one, Mt. Pagan, is still active.
The U.S. Navy announced in March it would begin preparing the island for live fire training.
Pagan is home to Chamorro people, and is also an environmental wonder.
Bikini Atoll in the Republic of the Marshall Islands
In 1944, after extensive fighting on Kwajalein and Enewetak Atoll, these islands were "captured from the Japanese" by U.S. military along with Bikini Atoll.
On Bikini Atoll, the U.S. military conducted 23 nuclear weapons tests.
The largest nuclear test the U.S. ever conducted was at Bikini Atoll.
