Fort Allen is a Puerto Rico National Guard and Reserve training-support campus in Juana Díaz, on the island’s southern coast near Ponce. [2]
Fort Allen combines military training and a youth-program presence. Confirm which organization is receiving you before making arrival or accommodation plans. [4]
Each detail has its own dated source. Confirm current procedures and availability with the responsible organization.
Prepare for the training site
Training & visits.
Coordinate reporting, site access and allocated facilities with your unit and the responsible site office before travel. Family support arrangements depend on your duty status.
Use Juana Díaz for the installation location
The Army’s August 2025 visit report identifies Fort Allen in Juana Díaz. Confirm the actual reporting building with the host; a unit mailing address elsewhere in Puerto Rico is not the installation’s arrival location.
The Army report highlights the 201st Regional Training Institute / Multi-functional Training Regiment. Ask the assigned course staff for reporting and enrollment instructions.
The same report describes the Youth ChalleNGe Academy. A youth-program application and a Soldier’s military course follow different pathways; contact the appropriate program before visiting.
Request the course-specific packing list, accommodation, meals and transport instructions. Do not assume Fort Buchanan’s housing or family facilities are available at Fort Allen.

Fort Buchanan is the Army installation in Guaynabo, within Puerto Rico's San Juan metropolitan area, supporting military organizations and eligible households.
