In Yomitan Village, missile launch exercises continued since 1959, and were held until 1970. Also, in 1962, the Mace B missile base was completed, and nuclear warheads were deployed in Okinawa. The construction of the missile base, which began after the island struggle (land battle), ended in the return struggle in the latter half of 1960. I will introduce the situation from photos and materials.
