Nearest city: Agat, Guam Coordinates: 13°26′13″N 144°38′30″E / 13.43694°N 144.64167°ECoordinates: 13°26′13″N 144°38′30″E / 13.43694°N 144.64167°E Built: 1921 Governing body: US Navy NRHP Reference#: 75002149 Added to NRHP: June 18, 1975 Orote Field is a former air base in Guam built by the United States Marine Corps and the United States Navy (1921-1931). It was captured by the Imperial Japanese Navy at the start of World War II and remained under Japanese control until the end of July 1944, when it was taken back by the USMC. The airfield itself, built on the western tip of the island, was one of many on Guam, and was closed for good in 1946, but still sees some use as a touch-and-go training strip used by C-130 Hercules crews located nearby on Andersen Air Force Base.
