Bruce Petty reports:
"The CIA had a secret base on the north end of Saipan in the 1950s and early 1960s where they trained Chinese Nationalists to fight Chinese Communists. Kagman field was used to fly in trainees at night were they were bussed to their quarters at the north end of the island. The building still survive are currently being used by the CNMI government. We lived in one for four years."
