When Guam was recaptured, temporary hospital fields were built to care for the population which were located in the Agat and Anigua beachheads. Later, both the civilian and military fields were moved to a complex of buildings in Tamuning. The civilian ward was renamed the Guam Memorial Hospital in honor of the casualties that took place on the island.
