About This Installation
Now a small base, the military has had a presence since annexating the "unicorporated territory" in 1899.
💡 Why Does This Matter?
The United States maintains approximately 750 military bases in over 80 countries — more than any nation in world history. The annual cost of maintaining overseas bases exceeds $55 billion.
Critics argue that many overseas bases are Cold War relics that increase tensions, provoke "blowback," and drain resources from domestic needs. Supporters say they deter aggression and protect allies. TE O USARC Army Reserve Pago Pago in American samoa is one of these installations.
