This has been asked a few times over the past few years. Here is a post from a 10 year immigration attorney keeping it simple. Not that they are always right, but this is what 95% say on this matter....

 

Yes, it is a port of entry.

NO ... short trips there will not 'protect' your greencard.

You must live and reside in the US ... just 'touching' US soil isn't enough.

 

 

I am sure some other VJ'ers will post on this as well.

hello everyone, 

 I’ve been staying outside in the US for almost year. Can i just enter and exit to Guam in order not be considered abounding  my US residency. please help thank you

No.  Briefly entering anywhere in the US does not show you have a resident in the US.  The requirement for you is to stay in the US as a green card holder or to get a Re-Entry Permit.
