Kwajalein evolves into key U S Pacific defense link
The Kwajalein atoll in the mid Pacific becomes a major military hub for trans Pacific flights to Guam and the Philippines. About 20 planes pass daily with air sea rescue, Coast Guard radar, and a floating drydock in operation. 800 Marshallese live on Ebeye nearby. 225 commute to Kwajalein for navy work. Transportation provided with a 6 p.m. clearance for natives.
