Guam Military Training and Readiness Act of 2014 - Authorizes the Secretary of the Navy to establish a surface danger zone over the Guam National Wildlife Refuge if its establishment will support the operation by the Department of the Navy of a live-fire training range complex on Andersen Air Force Base, Northwest Field, to support training and operations.
