Japan's new government invested about 6 billion dollars in this relocation but it will have an additional cost of approximately 10 to 15 billion.
The Guam territoty's population consists of nearly 173, 000 habitants and it will go up by a 25 percent in the next 4 to 6 years of reinsettlement.
Some people say that this has been the biggest build-up in the Pacific since World War II.
About 19000 troops will be relocated from which 8000 are Marines who will bring 9000 family members with them.
Guam will also have to pay for this reinsettlement which is expected to be for about 6 billion dollars. Can you imagine the amount of resources and materials that will be needed to provide each family a home and necessary supplies? Thousands.
The only thing left to know is whether or not the Japanese government will accept to contribute with the amount of money for this situation.
