There have been various plans to relocate Marine Corps Air Station Futenma—first off the island and most recently to Camp Schwab—however, as of November 2014[update] the future of any relocation is uncertain with the election of base-opponent Onaga as Okinawa governor.

Onaga has promised to veto the landfill work needed for the new base to be built and insisted Futenma should be moved outside of Okinawa.

[3] Reports indicate that Agent Orange was stored and used at Camp Schwab and other US bases on Okinawa in the 1960s.
