The base was renamed after former Chief of Staff for the Army Air Force, Pacific, who was lost at sea in 1945. Andersen AFB is a strategic air command base. The (18) ParaDrum Parachute Lifts that were installed in the paraloft tower there will keep the paratroopers stationed there and the equipment they use safe for years to come.
