Identify the Ili‘ili Reserve campus

The Army’s April 2026 open-house report places Pele in Ili‘ili on Tutuila. Keep American Samoa distinct from independent Samoa when checking the destination and travel arrangements.

Get the receiving unit’s drill or orders instructions

Ask your receiving unit for the report date, contact and arrival instructions. Regional command affiliation does not reserve accommodation.

Separate a community event from normal access

The April 25, 2026 open house was a scheduled event. Obtain permission for a later visit; its photographs and invitation do not establish everyday public access.

Use Reserve family support beyond the campus

Army Reserve Family Programs connects families with unit and community resources. Ask for the appropriate coordinator and child or youth referrals; a Reserve-center listing does not promise an on-site child-care place.
