Marine Corps Base Camp Blaz, activated October 1, 2020, is the first new Marine Corps base since 1952. Located in Guam, it is named after Brigadier General Vicente “Ben” Blaz—the highest-ranking CHamoru ever and Guam’s delegate to Congress from 1985 to 1993.

Comment guidelines

This space is for adding context.

  • Stay on topic. Share what you know and how you know it.
  • Criticize ideas, not people. No personal attacks, slurs, threats or harassment.
  • Link a source for factual claims when you can. No spam or ads.
  • Use one name. Pseudonyms are fine, but pretending to be someone else isn’t.

Your first comment is reviewed before it appears. We remove comments that break these rules, and we block people who break them seriously or repeatedly. Replies to our Bluesky posts appear here too, under the same rules.
