The Pacific Air Force and 644th Combat Communication Squadron’s primary mission is to provide ready air and space power to promote US interests in the Asia-Pacific region during peacetime, through crisis and in war. The addition of two new structures, an 18,000 SF Transmission System Facility and a 10,000 SF Combat Support Facility, supports the continued success of the 644th Air Force Squadron in their defense mission.

CMS successfully completed the design and construction of the Combat Communication Combat Support Facility (CCCSF) and Combat Communication Transmission System Facility (CCTSF) working with design firm, ARCADIS. Both facilities were designed for the use of the 664th Combat Communications Squadron Operations to provide communications capabilities for combatant commanders in the Pacific AOR .The project involved the site development and construction of two new, single-story reinforced concrete buildings.

The scope included new HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems, utility and site work, and other improvements to complete a fully operational facility to support the mission of the 644th Combat Communication Squadron.

The 9,812-SF Combat Communications Transmission System Facility has administrative work areas and storage areas. The 18,043-SF Combat Communication Combat Support facility has training space, communication room, secure storage area, maintenance repair and staging area, and generator maintenance bays.

Both buildings have reinforced concrete foundations, precast walls, and roofing capable of withstanding typhoon-strength winds and high seismic activity. Plumbing and electrical devices and fixtures meet LEED requirements. Each facility is also protected by a fire sprinkler system, fire alarm and mass notification system, and mechanical ventilation to maintain indoor air quality. A demand control system with pressure transducer ventilates generator muffler exhaust in each bay of the CCCSF.

The new buildings were designed for strength and durability to withstand the severe weather events that are characteristic of Guam and to provide service for years to come. CMS took special measures to preserve Guam’s sensitive ecosystem, adding bioswales to reduce the amount of storm water entering the island’s water supply. This and other sustainable design features qualify the project for the US Green Building Council’s LEED Silver certification.
