美國空軍部發布意向書,準備編製環境影響評估報告,評估在塞班島國際機場、天寧島國際機場、天寧島北機場與羅塔島國際機場進行訓練與作戰的潛在社會、經濟與環境影響。這些島嶼均屬美國未合併領地北馬里亞納群島。擬議的演訓計畫預計每年在每座機場進行多場次、為期數週的軍演,每座機場每年最多將起降1200架次定翼機與320架次旋翼機。
美國空軍部最新發布的公告顯示,美軍計畫在西北太平洋3個美國屬島上的4座機場,每年執行超過6000架次的飛機起降行動,其中包括一座正在整修中的二次世界大戰時期重要機場,以應對中國日益擴張的打擊範圍與飛彈射程。
「國防新聞」(Defense News)報導,美國空軍部已發布意向書,準備編製環境影響評估報告(EIS),評估在塞班島國際機場(Saipan International Airport)、天寧島國際機場(Tinian International Airport)、天寧島北機場(Tinian North Field)與羅塔島國際機場(Rota International Airport)進行訓練與作戰的「潛在社會、經濟與環境影響」。這些島嶼均屬美國未合併領地北馬里亞納群島(Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands)。
這項演訓計畫的核心,是為了支援美國空軍的「敏捷戰鬥部署」(ACE)概念。該戰略強調將兵力分散至多座機場,確保部隊能在各基地間機動轉移並維持作戰,以防止敵方透過精準打擊單一基地來癱瘓美軍行動。軍方明言,ACE概念的發展,主要是為了應對中國的軍力擴張。
公告指出,這3座島嶼彼此相距僅數十海里,大幅縮短部隊轉移時間,極適合進行複雜的「分散式作戰」演練,且距離美軍在關島的樞紐基地不到100海里,可有效支援兵力集結與部署。
擬議的演訓計畫預計每年在每座機場進行多場次、為期數週的軍演,每座機場每年最多將起降1200架次定翼機與320架次旋翼機。行動將涵蓋遠征基礎設施的臨時安裝、高達55萬加侖的燃料補給,以及干擾絲與熱焰彈等彈藥的處理。
美軍近年已投入大量資金升級這些二戰時期建立的機場,尤其是二戰後即遭植被覆蓋閒置的天寧島北機場,已於2023年底展開修復。
然而,空軍領導層內部對此擴張計畫的資源與資金配置存在疑慮,尤其與伊朗的戰爭已對美軍部隊帶來沉重的新需求。此外,當地居民也立場分歧,部分人士歡迎軍事投資帶來的經濟效益,但也有人質疑頻繁的軍演能否真正造福島民,並擔憂五角大廈在聽取地方民意上缺乏透明度。
空軍部將於本月在塞班島、天寧島與羅塔島舉行公聽會,預計2027年秋季提出環境影響評估草案,2028年中期發布最終版本。
