Abstract: The basic question of whether or not Micronesia is a suitable alternative for Okinawa in its present state was examined on two bases, >military and political. Data was gathered using a literature search. It was concluded that Micronesia is suitable from a military viewpoint because of its strategic location and because it has islands large enough to accommodate all of the Existing United States military facilities on Okinawa. It was also concluded that Micronesia is suitable from a political viewpoint because the United States is assured of the use of Micronesia for military bases. It was recommended that the United States should plan to use selected islands or Micronesia along with Guam as its forward defense position in the western Pacific. It was also recommend that the United States should work for some form of political association with Micronesia.
