Guam Military Prepares for Most Powerful Typhoon in 2 Years.

The military is launching disaster and humanitarian relief efforts on Guam after Typhoon Mawar caused massive damage, power outages, and water shortages. The strongest typhoon to hit the territory since 2002, Mawar briefly made landfall as a Category 4 storm at Andersen Air Force Base. Military units are preparing to assist with recovery efforts, including clearing the airfield from debris to bring in aid for the island. The Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group and the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit are poised to provide humanitarian and disaster relief in Guam.
