Abstract: This report describes the U.S. military presence in the Pacific theater-more than 616,000 service members, U.S. civilian employees, and dependents in 21 countries, 6 territories, 2 freely associated states, 1 protectorate, Hawaii, and Alaska. Additionally, over 49,000 foreign national civilians are employed by the Department of Defense to support its presence in the Pacific theater. The information in this report on the location and mission of these people should be useful to your Committees in addressing burden-sharing issues, the President’s proposal to reduce U.S. forces in the Pacific region, and concerns about the costs associated with maintaining U.S. overseas commitments.
